Checking the status of your deployment
The FileMaker Server Overview pane displays real-time status information about your FileMaker
Server deployment
updated every few seconds.
The Server Status Information area shows the overall condition of your FileMaker Server
deployment.
The diagram illustrates how many machines are in your deployment along with the IP address
of
each machine and the status of the Database Server
, Web Publishing Engine, and web server. If the
indicator next to any component name is red, then that component is not functioning or the master
machine cannot communicate with the worker
machine the component is running on.
The diagram also shows whether a supported web publishing technology or ODBC
/JDBC sharing is
enabled (ON/OFF).
The Server Information list provides the following:
To change the number and role of machines in your deployment, click Edit Server Deployment. For
more information, see Changing a FileMaker Server deployment
(page 28).
To change the maximum number of web publishing sessions, see General web publishing settings
(page 79).

• If you set up a machine as a worker and want to change it to a master, uninstall and then
