> #### Customizing a database log file monitor

> The database log file monitor that Fathom creates for each database contains default values. You can use these values or customize the log file monitor to better suit your needs.

> Note: This guide presents the basic steps needed to customize a log file monitor and does not go into detail about search criteria. See the Resource Monitoring Guide for detailed information about creating and changing search criteria.

> To customize a database log file monitor:

> 1. From the Database Details page of the desired database, click Log File Monitor. The Log File page appears.
> 2. Decide if you will customize the existing plan or add a new one.
> - Click Add Plan to add a monitoring plan to this resource monitor.
> Note: Fathom prevents the assignment of schedules that share days or have times that overlap. For example, if you have a Default_Schedule set up for a resource monitor, you cannot set up an additional plan because the Default_Schedule is defined for 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You must modify or remove the Default_Schedule to set up additional plans.

> - To customize the existing plan, click Edit for the plan you want to customize. The On the Edit page, change the polling interval, if desired. Select the Alerts Enabled check box to enable alerts.
> 3. From the Rules selected for this plan section, click either Add Rule or Select Rule Sets.
> 4. After you either add a rule or select from the list of predefined rule sets, click Save to return to the monitoring plan detail page.
