Working with database rule sets

A database rule set is a set of rules that you associate with one or more database resources through a monitoring plan. Database rule sets are stored in the Fathom Component Library and provide a way for you to manage many databases by sharing rule definitions. In this way, you create a common set of rules that you can set up for multiple databases.

Because each database rule set you create is stored in the Fathom Component Library, the rule set is available for your reuse or for use by others.

You can also add individual rules to a monitoring plan, whether or not the rules are part of any rule set. Note that if you include a rule in a monitoring plan's rule set and then add the same rule individually again with modifications, the rule in the rule set is overridden by the rule with the modifications.

Fathom provides a default database rule set. When a database resource is added to Fathom, a default monitoring plan, with the default rule set, is assigned to it.
