> #### Updating monitoring plans

> This section describes how to access and update a monitoring plan and associated rules using the AppServer broker resource as the example. These same steps can be applied to WebSpeed broker and a NameServer instance; any unique requirements for a given OpenEdge resource type are noted.

> To update an OpenEdge resource monitoring plan:

> 1. Click Resources in the menu bar.
> 2. In the list frame, navigate to the specific OpenEdge resource you want to display. See the "Accessing OpenEdge resource information" section. In this example, the AppServer broker resource, asbroker1, is selected.
> 3. Click Monitoring Plans in the Command and control section of the OpenEdge main page. In this example, the Monitoring Plans page for AppServer broker resource asbroker1 appears:

> 4. Select the specific schedule associated with the plan that you want to update. Click Edit associated with that specific plan.
> The figure below shows the page that appears in edit mode when the Default Schedule Plan is selected:

> 5. Update the monitoring plan values, as needed:
> 1. Change current values in these fields: Available Schedules, Polling Interval, or Alerts Enabled. (Available to all OpenEdge resources.)
> 2. Change the value in the Trend Performance Data option. (Available to WebSpeed and AppServer broker resources only.) For details, go to Step Note:.
> 3. Click Advanced Settings. (Available to WebSpeed and AppServer broker resources only.) For details, go to Step Note:.
> 4. Select a specific rule or rule set to add, update, or remove from this plan. For details, go to Step 6.
> Note: For WebSpeed and AppServer broker resources, you can also change the setting of the Trend Performance Data option. However, note that this option is required to ensure that data gathered using data collection is trended to the FathomTrendDatabase. For WebSpeed broker-related details, see the "Properties section" section. For AppServer broker-related details, see the "Properties section" section.

> 5. Change the setting of the Trend Performance Data option. However, note that this option is required to ensure that data gathered using data collection is trended to the FathomTrendDatabase. For WebSpeed broker-related details, see the "Properties section" section. For AppServer broker-related details, see the "Properties section" section.
> 6. Click Advanced Settings to see all trend value settings, as shown in this example:

> 6. Click the individual rule to display details about that rule, including alert severity, action to perform upon the firing of the alert, and a brief description of the rule.
> For example, click Add Rule in the rules selected for this plan. The Available Rules page for rules that are unique to the OpenEdge resource displays. In this example, the rules associated with an Appserver broker resource appear:

> The Available Rules page is a dynamic list; it displays only those rules not yet applied to a given monitoring plan.

> Note: The step to select rules for each OpenEdge resource is the same. However, each OpenEdge Resource has a unique Available Rules page. For more information about each set of rules, see the "Understanding and using resource monitor rules" section.

> 7. Click the rule you want to add. If you select Process CPU High, for example, the detailed rule information shown in the figure below displays. Note the rule's description on the bottom of the rule page:

> 8. Update any unique values you want to define for this instance of the rule. Note that using this procedure as a guide, none of the steps in this procedure required you to enter values for these fields. Although these fields serve different purposes, they all can display default values.
> Also, this rule, as defined, is associated only with this particular plan. When you update another plan with the same rule, you can select values that are appropriate for that particular plan.

> The Threshold field associated with this page indicates the actual rule criterion. For details about rules, see the "Understanding and using resource monitor rules" section. The remaining fields on this page are alert- and action-related fields. For details, see the Alerts Guide and Reference.

> 9. Click Save. The Available Rules page reappears. Repeat Step 7 and Step 8 for each additional rule you want to apply to this plan. After you add and define the criteria for each rule you want to add, click Done Adding Rules on the Available Rules page.
> 10. Click Select Rule Sets in the rules section of the page to choose the rule sets you want to add to the monitoring plan. Fathom displays the default rule set for the resource type you are updating, and any additional rule sets created using the Fathom Component Library. See the "Working with rule sets" section for details.
> 11. Click Save. The updated monitoring plan appears in the monitoring plan definition on the top of the Monitoring Plan summary page.
