Checking the status of your deployment
The
Status pane displays real-time status information about your FileMaker Server
deployment that is updated every few seconds. In the toolbar, your administrator name appears in the Welcome message. If you are a group administrator, the name of the group you are currently administering appears in the Welcome message.
Important Group administrators can’t change any settings. As a result, the
icons are not available to group administrators.
The toolbar also contains the Server and Help menus.
•Use the Server menu to edit your deployment, to save and load the schedules and groups settings file, to test whether database hosting is working correctly, and to view additional information from the Start Page.
•Use the Help menu to view FileMaker Server Help, find product documentation, or get additional information about your installation of FileMaker Server.
When you start Admin Console, the Status pane is automatically displayed. If you choose a different pane, such as General Settings, you can select the Status pane to redisplay the status information.
The Status pane has these five component sections:
What the indicators mean

Red exclamation mark | The component is not functioning or the master machine cannot communicate with a worker machine or a FileMaker Server component. |
