Filemaker server 13 setup7/5/2023 ![]() * Install the Daemon/Service on your Mac or Windows server. Use a serverID, which is what the system uses as unique identifier. Look through the scripts and look for import SQL steps and Execute SQL Query script steps and make sure to change them to use the DSN to your MySQL. ![]() * Open the WB FileMaker file and make sure to connect your file in ESS using the DSN to your MySQL. Only needed when you first setup the FileMaker file. Also setup a connection from your local machine with the same DSN name. * Setup ODBC connection from your WB FileMaker server to the MySQL server. Then create an account for the FileMaker file as well. ![]() You can create an account for each server you want to monitor, or just a shared account. * Setup MySQL accounts for the daemon/service. * Run the SQL creation script, to create a database with the tables we need. * Install or setup a MySQL server, where the servers you monitor, can access it via port 3306 Press it and you’ find the SQL creation script for MySQL as well as WB Daemon/Service installers (MAC/WIN) * On the Dashboard screen, you’ll see an icon for installation. (preferable your development server or server admin server) ![]() * Upload the FileMaker file to a FileMaker server. * Download the file, which is a FileMaker file, which contains the bits you need. In that case, WhistleBlower will restart the Script Engine automatically. One example that we’ve built, is a function that watch for whether the Script Engine has crashed. There is already a bunch of tools in this file, but the great thing is that it’s Open Source, so you can build your own modifications and tools. Currently it provides an interface for viewing log entries directly from the MySQL, via ESS as well as providing a dashboard, that shows you the current status of all the server in the level of files, clients as well as whether each of the FMS specific processes are running and how much CPU each process takes up. This file is the central point, where you can put in logics. The reason for this choice is that we will be generating millions of records. The database will have tables, which the daemon/service will write to. The daemon/service will collect log entries as well as CPU usage of FMS related processes and feed this information into the MySQL database. This is something we developed and it’s a component you install on all the servers you want to monitor and manage. It’s a monitoring tool, that will help you monitor and manage your FileMaker servers. But we have been using the tool for our work the last almost 2 years, so we feel that it is pretty thoroughly tested.Īs this tool was something we needed and we just want to share it with the community, it’s being released as Freeware/Open Source and we really like to have your input. Since this has been a sparetime project, it has taken us some time. Basically, within a couple of hours, we cooked up the concept and started building the tool. There will be a new version within 2-3 weeks, but we encourage you to start looking and testing this tool.Īt dotFMP in Berlin in 2016, we got to talk about the hassle of having to manage and monitor multiple FileMaker Servers and talked about how we could work on this.
