Enable logging for FileMaker Data API calls

Select Enable logging for FileMaker Data API so that errors and other information can be stored in the fmdapi.log. The logging level for messages determines what type of information is captured.

Set the maximum log size

Specify the Log Size. The log size can be from 1 MB to 1000 MB. The default is 40 MB.

The number specified is the maximum size for the fmdapi.log file, which you find in the Logs folder. When the fmdapi.log file reaches this maximum size, the FileMaker Data API Engine copies the fmdapi.log file to a single backup file, fmdapi.log.1, and creates a new fmdapi.log file. See FileMaker Data API log.

Set the logging level for messages

Select Error level messages to log any errors that have occurred.

Select Info and Error level messages to log errors and information messages.

This setting changes the amount of information that is written to the fmdapi.log file.
