Editing or copying a resource monitor

You can edit and copy the properties, monitoring plans, or rule definitions for most resources. There are some limits to the types of editing you can perform for the Fathom-provided default resources such as CPU, Memory, and databases. For example, you cannot rename, copy, or delete any default resource monitors. You can, however, change monitoring plan and rule definitions associated with each of them.

Note that if two or more people simultaneously edit a resource, the last changes submitted overwrite all previous changes.

To edit or copy a resource:

  1. Select Resources in the menu bar.
  2. Select the system, network, or file resource you want to edit or copy from the list frame. The resource's summary data, which includes properties, monitoring plans, and rule definitions, appear in the detail frame.
  3. Choose one:
    • Click Edit. The property summary data reappear, allowing you to change editable fields.
    • Click Copy. You can change the properties, monitoring plans, or rule definitions as necessary. Note that when you copy a resource, the copy displays the same name as the original resource. You must change this name before saving the copy.
  4. Click Save when you finish.
