Monitor FileMaker Data API solutions
The server administrator can use Admin Console to start or stop the FileMaker Data API Engine, monitor FileMaker Data API clients, track FileMaker Data API call use, and download the FileMaker Data API log file.
To |
Use |
Start or stop the FileMaker Data API Engine |
The Admin Console Connectors > FileMaker Data API tab. See "Starting or stopping FileMaker Server components" in FileMaker Server Help or "Changing FileMaker Data API settings" in FileMaker Cloud Help. With FileMaker Server, you can also use a CLI command. See CLI Help. |
Monitor FileMaker Data API clients |
The clients list on the Admin Console Databases page. This page shows details about the clients and about the databases being accessed. From this page, you can disconnect FileMaker Data API clients, but you cannot send messages to them. See "Administering clients" in FileMaker Server Help or "Working with databases and clients" in FileMaker Cloud Help. |
Track FileMaker Data API call use |
The Admin Console Connectors > FileMaker Data API tab. This tab displays the FileMaker Data API annual limit set by your license, the amount of data that has been transmitted since the prior annual reset date, and the annual reset date for your license.

View the FileMaker Data API log |
While FileMaker Data API clients are connected to a database, statistical data about the clients is logged to the fmdapi.log. See "FileMaker Data API log" in FileMaker Server Help or "Viewing and downloading log files" in FileMaker Cloud Help. |
