Hello,

I have crashes in Event.log here for a test server:

| Time | Kind | id | Server | Message |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2025-11-25 09:02:19.937 +0100 | Fehler | 701 | macos-26.shared | Der Prozess Database Server wurde abnorm beendet. |
| 2025-11-25 09:02:31.931 +0100 | Fehler | 701 | macos-26.shared | Der Prozess Admin Server wurde abnorm beendet. |

but I can't find any crash logs for this.  
I would expect them in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, but there are none.  
Any idea?

Sorry, no. That is where FileMaker stores logs. There I found the Event.log telling me that the crash happened, but not where.

😆 When I saw you post I assumed you were asking for a friend.

Logs have become very complicated in MacOS. Here's a link to the best resource I know. It contains a lot of articles and the author produces fantastic software, including log tools.
