Top call statistics log
Note  The following information is for server administrators and group administrators.
When you enable the Top call statistics setting on the Database Server > Logging tab, the TopCallStats.log file is created in the FileMaker Server/Logs/ folder.
The log describes the client requests (up to 25) that have the longest elapsed time during the statistics collection interval. For information on configuring the statistics collection interval, see Logging and statistics settings.

Notes
You can view these client statistics by opening the TopCallStats.log file in any application that can read tab-delimited data.
When the TopCallStats.log file reaches the log size specified on the Database Server > Logging tab, it is renamed TopCallStats-old.log and a new TopCallStats.log file is created.
To configure the collection interval and log size for the TopCallStats.log file, see Logging and statistics settings.
