Monitoring FileMaker Server Tracking activity in log files

ILEMAKER SERVER 9 HELP 115
Access log
The Database Server logs accesses to databases in a separate log file called Access.log. Typical
events that are logged include:
• clients that connect to and disconnect from the Database Server
• databases that clients access with a unique account
and with the built-in Guest account
Accesses are logged in the tab-delimited Access.log file that is created in the FileMaker Server/
Data/Logs/ folder.
You can view the Access.log file in any application that can read tab-delimited data (FileMaker Pro
or a text editor) or the Console application (Mac OS).
When the Access.log file reaches Log Size specified on the Database Server > Logging tab, it is
renamed Access-old.log and a new Access.log file is created.
To configure access logging, see Logging and statistics settings
(page 76).
