  2. The Favorite icon. Use this button to favorite or unfavorite your server. If it is filled in this server is favorited.

  3. OttoFMS link. Use this to quickly open up the OttoFMS console for this server.

  4. FMS Admin link. Use this to quickly open up the FileMaker Admin Console for this server.

  5. The Ottomatic/On-Prem icon. This displays an icon designating the server you are looking at as an Ottomatic hosted server or an on-prem server or server hosted elsewhere.

The Server Dashboard's Dashboard tab is an overview of the state of your server. It displays basic server information, current count of open clients, disk usage, and other server stats.

FileMaker database management starts here.

The Clients tab will display all currently connected FileMaker clients on this server. You can send clients messages and disconnect them right from here.

The Services tab lets you start, stop, and restart all of the FileMaker processes, as well as OttoFMS itself.

The Logs tab has an easy log viewer where you can view your FileMaker or OttoFMS logs. The logs are searchable and filterable, so you can find exactly the message you were looking for.

The File Browser tab lets you manage your server's file system without connecting via remote desktop or FTP. it enables access to FileMaker and OttoFMS folders, as well as backups and more. If you have a backup you need to restore, you can also restore the backup directly from the File Browser by right clicking.

The Settings tab lets you change OCC and OttoFMS settings for your server. If you want to change the OttoFMS theme color, add a custom hostname to your Ottomatic server, or remove a server from the Cloud Console you can do it here.
