> #### Adding resource monitors for discovered machines and ports

> Once you have discovered machines and ports, you can quickly set up resource monitors for them.

> To set up the resource monitors:

> 1. Select the individual check box associated with each resource you want to add, or click Select All to select all resources.
> 2. Click Add Checked. An informational message appears in the detail frame, stating that the network resources you selected have been successfully added to Fathom.
> 3. Click OK to close the informational message. The network resources you identified appear in the list frame:

> Discovered network resources also follow a naming convention. These resource names are derived from the hostname associated with the discovered resource and a character string derived from the resource's type and port number. Each of these elements is separated by a colon, using the following format:

>     resource typeresource port number:discovered resource

> For example, if an activity on port 80 on a machine with a host name of DELL1 is discovered, the resource name that Fathom generates is HTTP:DELL1. In contrast, if an activity on port 1234 on a machine with a host name of DELL2 is discovered, the resource name that Fathom generates is tcp1234:DELL2.

> When you add the discovered network resource to Fathom, the colon is replaced by an underscore; for example, tcp23:nbaspauldixp becomes tcp23_nbaspauldixp.

> 4. Select a newly added network resource to display its default monitoring plans and rules. You can now work with the monitor for the newly discovered resource just as you would any other monitor.

> ##### Accessing a previously discovered resource

> You can later reaccess any discovered resource that you do not add to Fathom at the time of discovery.The results are retained from one previous discovery process only and are replaced once a subsequent session concludes.

> To reaccess a previously discovered resource:

> 1. Click Resources on the Fathom menu bar.
> 2. Click Discover Network Resources. The Discover Network Resources page opens.
> 3. Click Previous Results.
