At first glance, FileMaker Server 17 seems to be making it harder to properly monitor its performance. The Admin Console no longer has live views of the most important statistics across the four traditional bottlenecks (processing power, disk i/o, memory and network throughput). It also dropped the live view into the FileMaker Server event log.
However, there are simple ways around these challenges. Steven Blackwell and I put together an overview of how to continue to monitor your FileMaker Servers going forward.

In this tech brief we cover:

- Where to find and how to download all of the FileMaker Server logs
- How to use the Windows Perfmon tool to collect these statistics and more (includes a template to download and use)
- Tools the Operating System provides to augment the monitoring effort
