Managing Apple File Service
This section tells you how to perform day-to-day management tasks for Apple file service
once you have it up and running.
Viewing Apple File Service Status
You use Server Status to check the status of all Mac OS X Server devices and services.
To view Apple file service status:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select AppleFile in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Overview tab to see whether the service is running and when it started, its
throughput and number of connections, and whether guest access and logging are enabled.
3 Click the Logs tab to see the access and error logs.
Use the Show pop-up menu to choose which log to view.
4 Click the Connections tab to see a list of the users currently connected to Apple file service.
The table includes the user name, type of connection, user’s IP address or domain name,
duration of connection, and the time since the last data transfer (idle time).
Buttons at the bottom of the pane let you send a message to a user and disconnect the user.
5 Click the Graphs tab to see graphs of connected users or throughput.
Use the pop-up menu to choose which graph to view. Adjust the time scale using the slider
at the bottom of the pane.
Viewing Apple File Service Logs
You use Server Status to view the error and access logs for Apple file service (if you have
enabled them).
To view logs:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select AppleFile in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Logs tab and use the Show pop-up menu to choose between the access and
error logs.
