MacOS – Locate .fseventsd Folder in Monterey

filesystemsmacosmacos-montereymonitoring

Getting no hits for .fseventsd in Finder or Terminal ($ sudo find / -name .fseventsd) On MacOS 12.4 and fseventsd is running ok (< 1% CPU). Time Machine switched on. (Edit: I have turned on show hidden files and can see the other '.' items in Finder/terminal.)

Google is not helping at all and so I must be overlooking something pretty fundamental, what?

Related – are there any recommended utilities for watching the Mac file system?

Edit: Attaching screenshot of root boot volume.

The /.fseventsd seems to have been moved from the previous root location when viewing in the terminal.

The new location appears to be at: /System/Volumes/Data/.fseventsd/
