> ### Monitoring remote Fathom resources

> Fathom allows you to monitor resources on a remote machine where Fathom is not installed. This provides numerous benefits, the greatest of which is the ability to view the status of all your resources and alerts through a single Fathom console. Remote resource monitoring also simplifies deployment because Fathom need not be installed on each host where resources are to be monitored.

> For monitoring resources remotely, Fathom uses the SonicMQ, which is a very fast and reliable messaging system.

> Fathom requires that you have an AdminServer running on the remote host where resources are to be monitored. Additionally, both Fathom on the local host and the AdminServer on the remote host must be configured using the Fathom Remote Configuration Utility (fmconfig), as described in Chapter 6, "Configuring Remote Monitoring for Fathom."
