A cause and effect relationship

In Fathom, you can define a simple, automated chain of events to occur to ensure that you are notified of any resource rule violations. This sequence executes as follows:

  1. Some condition causes a rule for an active resource to be violated.
  2. The rule violation causes an alert to be triggered.
  3. The alert causes a specific pre-defined action to occur.
  4. Note: You define an action to be triggered by an alert. An alert can be triggered many times if a given condition exists, but the action that is associated with the alert will only be run when the alert is initially triggered. Once the alert is cleared, the alert and its related action can fire again.
