Monitoring FileMaker Server
You can view usage statistics and track the activity of FileMaker Server. Admin Console displays
usage statistics that help you monitor server performance. To help you monitor your FileMaker
Server deployment
and troubleshoot problems, FileMaker Server helps you perform the following
tasks:
• Viewing statistics
(page 108)
• Tracking activity in log files
(page 110)
The following table summarizes where you can find the information that FileMaker Server tracks for
you.
All log files are located in the Logs folder:
• Windows: [drive]:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Logs
• Mac OS:/Library/FileMaker Server/Logs
Note In a multiple machine deployment, the log files are on the machines indicated in the table
above.
