> ### Overview

> Fathom supports a variety of tasks that you can perform to manage a Transaction Server, including:

> - Reviewing your current operating status and associated details.
> - Modifying broker-related control settings, such as starting and stopping a broker, and adding or trimming agents.
> - Accessing and viewing broker- and agent-specific data collected through log file resource monitors.
> - Monitoring and managing WebSpeed brokers using monitoring plans and rules.
> - Generating rule threshold values for rules using the Configuration Advisor.
> - Working with OpenEdge resource-related data that is available through broker- and agent-specific information and operational views. WebSpeed information views provide data in both text and graph formats.

> You must have appropriate Fathom role authorization to perform several of these tasks. See the "Role authorization and OpenEdge tasks" section for details.
