If you want to trace the file access of the IBM FHIR Server, you can use fs_usage using sudo.

  1. Find the Server
PS=$(ps -ef | grep -i fhir-server | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')
sudo fs_usage -w ${PS} | grep -i json
  1. Check what files are used
$ sudo fs_usage -w ${PS} | tee out.log | grep -i json

You can then see what operations are executed on the fhir-server-config.json or any other file the server accesses
