> #### Starting a scripted database agent

> Before you can monitor a scripted database, you must start the Monitoring Agent.

> To enable a scripted database agent:

> 1. From the Database Details page click Control, and copy the command line provided. For example, the following figure from the Scripted Database page shows the command line values to copy:

> The command line includes the following information:

> - The name and path of the scripted database (`-db` <database-name>).
> - The host machine on which Fathom is running (`-H` <host-name>).
> - The port on which Fathom is listening (`-S` <port-number>).
> 2. On the machine hosting the database, paste the command line at the proenv prompt. You can now access the scripted database's control information and views.
> Note: Using the command line supplied this way, add the start of your dbagent to your database start script. Each time your database starts up, the dbagent is automatically started and Fathom Management automatically starts monitoring your database.

> Because the database is scripted, the following links normally available on a local database's details page do not appear:

> - Log File Monitor.
> - Log File Viewer.
> - File Systems View.
