Log Files API
Requires OttoFMS 4.18.0 or later.
In addition to the Log Viewer, the OttoFMS API exposes endpoints for listing, downloading, and clearing the same FileMaker Server and OttoFMS log files:
- List Log Files (
GET /server-info/logs) — returns the available FileMaker Server and OttoFMS log files. - Download Log File (
GET /server-info/logs/{fileName}) — downloads the raw contents of a log file. Use the file names from the list endpoint. - Clear Log File (
DELETE /server-info/logs/clear/{logFileName}) — clears a log file, emptying it without deleting it.
