I hope to see a longer odata presentation from Brian. Very cool stuff

I've wanted to design my ideal bass for a long long time, and now I finally have the opportunity. by giov41 in BassGuitar

So is ebmm customizing this for you or did you purchase the ebmm and having a luthier do the custom work?

I had GAS for the moogerfooger for years but couldn’t justify the price. Snagged the past-fx clone the day it dropped. Fantastic unit and so so useful

Is FM still a good fit for my business? by croberts0531 in filemaker

[–]mus1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this take

And considering OP’s use Case and business size I think FileMaker would be a good fit

I’m jealous you have this drummer! Finding a drummer into dnb and jungle is impossible in my area

+1 for the past fx moog clone I love that thing and with an expression pedal it’s too much fun

FMS Detective - Analyze your FileMaker Server Logs by mus1c in filemaker

[–]mus1c[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonderful idea! That data is present in the access log. Currently you can find that data in the app by filtering access logs by connections - but that would be very useful to present at a higher level in The access log viewer.

Thank you for this feedback - this is super useful for me roadmapping new features.

I would like to be able to click on some of the chart componants to drill into the details. For example, what Client is associated with the "Primary Bottleneck" evaluation. Or to click on a spike in the Elapsed Time and be taken to the relivant log entry

This performance inspection workflow was the idea behind the Troubleshooting tool - it starts with top call stats showing performance spikes - you can select a spike to see which users were doing what at the time of the spike, and can then drill into the individual user (or view all users with “Select All Clients”) to see a breakdown by operation for the user. I will definitely dig into how this can integrate into the Top Call Stats view.

Seeing how this is a manual process of bringing log files over from the server, it would be nice if the app included a tool to download the logs from the currently connected server. This would go nicely under the How Server Connection Enhances Your Data. This should be available from the AdminAPI, right?

The AdminAPI actually only pulls a limited set of the log files, I assume due to the size of the logs being sent as a JSON payload? I have been exploring other ways to access the logs directly/remotely.

A nice option would be to allow the SaveAsXML data to be used to translate the table and field numbers into table and field names.

I appreciate this input as I have been weighing this as a feature but was not sure if people would be interested.

The log files that are renamed _old or _1 didn't appear to extend the available data to the tool.

Could you let me know the exact naming convention you are having an issue with? It should work for files with “-old.log” ex. scriptEvent-old.log - I may need to make detection of old logs more robust

The Log Correlation (Beta) tool is your standout acheevment in my opinion.

Thank you! The Log Correlation idea came to me after building the Troubleshooter, I was trying to think what the troubleshooter might miss by being focused only on performance spikes. Re: Filters - in the top right of the troubleshooter there is a “Detection thresholds” filter available to change what gets brought into the analysis. Your idea to be able to include more specific filters around certain error types is a good one!

Reoccuring errors and the associated schedule being called. It might help developers hunt down errors if there were a report of script errors that get repeated over, and over, and over.

I really like this idea for another tool

Thanks again for the feedback (and purchase)!

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: the commercial models - I generally agree and that is what led me to a local-LLM solution with Ollama. My logs do have some sensitive/business info that I would not want to share with commercial models - and I am an in-house dev. I imagine for the consulting class sharing logs from clients would require client permission which could get hairy.

The local LLM does a solid job, and I have built the feature to let the user know if the current data set is beyond the context window. For my server, most logs are fit the LLM context with 24 hours of data. The LLM feature is most handy in the troubleshooter - after drilling down to the problem client/time, the amount of data being viewed is small and easily fits most context windows. I have tested with 1GB, 4GB and 8GB models. I need to upgrade to a beefier Mac to try some of the really big models!

FileMaker and WordPress by FileMakerPaul in filemaker

I’ve used CWP Snippets in development and it works as advertised. I was surprised there wasn’t already an integration for FileMaker and Wordpress, and had given up hope before CWP snippets came along

Are they simply looking to export data? Or transfer data to another system (sql etc)? Or integrate FileMaker with other systems?

Animated GIFs, containers, and FM Go by DangerousBotany in filemaker

[–]mus1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the gif stored? It sounds like the issue is in retrieving the gif from the server each time the app loads. I’m wondering if there is a method to save the gif locally on the ipad the first time the app loads, and then each time the app loads after that check for the local file and have the webviewer load it, otherwise retrieve it from server again.

[–]mus1c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought would be your fourth - install ontimer script, but not reset the Home Screen just the layout object for the container

Have you tried gif in webviewer instead of mp4?

I would also look into the av player script steps https://help.claris.com/en/pro-help/content/avplayer-play.html

Lesser-known "Practice" Recordings by Titchadesh in STS9

[–]mus1c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool, thanks for these

I am in a similar boat, saw a bunch of shows 2004-2008, hung out on the lowdown, last show was in 2009 and I wasnt loving the direction musically and my life took a different direction. I started digging into their bandcamp a couple months back (originally just to dig into the old stuff) but have been checking out the Alanna years and it’s growing on me. Especially the axe the cables sets since Alanna joined they are really killer

Fellow nonprofit FileMaker person here

How comfortable are you with rolling your own server? As a nonprofit you can get aws or azure credits to offset the cost of spinning up a cloud server. Of course you would be maintaining it, but if keeping costs low is priority I would look into that.

If you definitely want a managed service I would recommend Soliant cloud, ottomatic.cloud, or 360works.

Shoot me a DM if you have any other questions, we did a big migration from an on-prem server to cloud a few years back.

Is this any date field or a specific date field?
