> #### Reviewing and changing global settings

> During the Fathom Management installation process, you have the option of choosing global settings for various resource options. At any time after the initial installation, you can review and update these settings. Specifically, you can enable and disable global settings for the following Fathom elements:

> - Polling activities for all resources.
> - Trending activities data for all resources.
> - Alert generation.

> To update the global settings:

> 1. Click Options on the menu bar.
> 2. In the list frame, click Configuration Resource monitoring. The Fathom Resource Monitoring Configuration page appears:

> 3. To enable or disable global resource monitoring settings, select or clear the appropriate options.
> The resource monitoring settings are independent of each other and are useful for diagnostic purposes because they allow you to disable specific Fathom functionality. For example, if you know that your FathomTrendDatabase is going to be taken down for maintenance, you can elect to turn off trending, but leave the rest of Fathom Management running.

> If you disable polling, trending, or alerts, an associated icon appears in the upper-right corner of the menu bar to indicate that the option is currently disabled. Also, when polling is disabled at this configuration level, a message indicating that the polling has been disabled appears on each individual resource monitor-related page.

> For further information about updating global resource monitoring settings, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. For details about setting actions for Fathom internal alerts, see the Alerts Guide and Reference.
