> ### Understanding and using resource monitor rules

> The concept of a rule as it applies to OpenEdge resource monitors is identical to that expressed by the specific rules for other resource monitor types: a rule is the resource monitoring component that Fathom checks to verify whether a resource complies with an expected performance criteria. Certain rules specific to WebSpeed and AppServer, as this section identifies, can also use the Configuration Advisor to generate intelligent threshold values based on an analysis of data collected for a given rule.

> In addition to the rules identified as default rule sets in the "Updating monitoring plans" section, you can also choose from different individual resource-specific rules and define them for a monitoring plan.
