Server Logs

[damo]

I currently have Filemaker Server 7 setup on a Windows 2000 Server, about to be migrated to a Windows 2003 Server.

It writes everything to the log, including things as trivial as a user connecting to a database.

How can I change what sort of events get recorded in the log? I only want to record critical events and errors, anything else I am not interested in.

Thanks very much

You can't. And it's a good thing.

You *can* filter what you're viewing though by selecting only warnings and errors and not the information messages.

The level of reporting FMS does it great. It allows you to do an analysis of what users open what files when for how long. Makes it easy for you the developer to prioritize feature requests by user. You just might find that the users who gripe most spent the least amount of time in the system...

I don't currently need that level of detail in reporting.

I am worried that with the excessive amount of logs generated by Filemaker, I may miss something more important, such as a critical error.

Has this been fixed? It is absolutely NOT a good thing that this program dumps all this worthless information into the Application Log.

There's nothing to fix. This is not a bug.

Given that the Application Log has a very nice filter built into it, I would think most people would prefer FMS to return too much information rather than too little.

And Quin, if you know a way to filter the Application Log so it displays ALL entries, except for the Information entries from FileMaker Server, please explain how. Thank you.
