Version History

v1.2 — April 2026

Troubleshooter

  • Chart accuracy fixes — Remote Calls In Progress, Elapsed per Call, and Cache Hit % charts now use max-per-bucket downsampling that preserves every spike, replacing stride-sampling that could hide entire days of concurrency activity on long-range logs
  • Log-scale Y-axis on Elapsed per Call — Logarithmic axis from 0.1 ms to the actual worst spike with human-readable tick labels (e.g. "10 ms", "1.0 s"), so brief spikes and sustained slowdowns are visually distinct
  • Clickable charts and jump-to-spike stat cards — All three Step 1 charts are now clickable to jump to spike details, and summary stat cards above the charts act as quick-jump buttons to the worst spikes

Server Activity Timeline

  • Client connection sessions — The timeline now shows when clients connected and disconnected as session bars alongside existing event layers
  • Per-database open/close tracking — Each database's lifecycle is tracked and rendered on the timeline with expandable session details
  • Performance fix — Fixed a hang when viewing full-range logs with all event layers enabled
  • Smarter defaults — Timeline defaults to Schedule, PSoS, Pro, and Data API event layers

Data API & OData Views

  • Interactive request timeline charts with click-to-filter
  • FMS CLI error codes resolved to human-readable descriptions
  • Clickable error table replaces the error code bar chart

Log Correlation

  • OData and Data API tracked as separate log types for more accurate cross-log correlation
  • New "By Log" timeline view showing activity across all loaded log files on a single timeline

Script Events

  • New timeline chart showing script execution activity over time
  • Multi-file date ordering fix for rolled Event.log files

Other Improvements

  • Chart color stability — multi-series charts now use deterministic, consistent colors
  • Rolled log file detection — files like fmodata.log.1 and Stats.log.1 are now recognized
  • Open in Browser — new button to open FileMaker Server Admin Console when connected to a live server
  • Updated help content for Data API, OData, and Script Events views

v1.1 — April 2026

Major New Features

  • Server Activity Timeline — 24-hour Gantt chart view of Schedule and Perform Script on Server sessions with concurrency tracking, color-coded status bars, day navigation, and click-to-inspect session details
  • LM Studio Support — Second local LLM provider alongside Ollama with a unified model picker showing all available models tagged by source
  • Log Correlation Overhaul — Streamlined 2-step flow with richer root cause analysis, configurable detection thresholds, and noise error filtering
  • Database Activity Summary — New panel in Access Log showing per-database activity with expandable rows, connected users, file sizes, and encryption indicators

Interactive Charts & Click-to-Filter

  • Activity Heatmap in Top Call Stats — date × hour grid, click cells to filter
  • Clickable Elapsed Time Trends — click trend points to filter by time range
  • Top Operations metric switcher — toggle between Calls, Elapsed, Wait, and I/O
  • Click-to-filter on Client Stats, Script Events, and Data API charts
  • Clickable StatCards with subtle color tint on interactive summary cards

AI & Analysis Improvements

  • AI analysis scoped to selected day in Gantt chart
  • AI prompts prioritize problems (timeouts, aborts, errors) over generic summaries
  • Token budget improvements and live dataset size warnings

Performance & Polish

  • Background recompute for heavy calculations
  • Min/max downsampling preserves spikes instead of averaging them away
  • Search box debounce with cancellation for smoother filtering
  • Expanded help system with dedicated pages per log type
  • Server view enhancements — services grid, SSL certificate details, database and schedule definitions

v1.0 — March 2026

Initial release.

  • Parse and analyze 12 FileMaker Server log types with automatic format detection
  • Performance Troubleshooter — guided 3-step diagnosis from spikes to clients to operations
  • Log Correlation (Beta) — cross-log anomaly detection with root cause analysis
  • AI Assistant — local LLM integration via Ollama for on-device analysis
  • FileMaker Admin API integration for live server context
  • Drag-and-drop import with multi-file support up to 200 MB per file
  • CSV export of analyzed data
  • 100% local processing — no data leaves your machine
