Client statistics log

When client statistics logging is enabled, the ClientStats.log is created in the FileMaker Server/Logs/ (FileMaker Server only) or Server/Logs/ (Claris Server only) folder.

To enable client statistics logging, use the CLI command fmsadmin enable clientstats. See Using the command line interface.
