> #### Changing general configuration settings

> You can change the following current Fathom general configuration settings:

> - The automatic starting of Fathom when the AdminServer starts.
> - The action Fathom should perform, if any, when an internal Fathom alert is triggered. Set up the On internal Fathom alerts perform action panel to set an action for internal alerts, such as notification that the FathomTrendDatabase is down. You can execute any action when an internal alert is triggered. For example, you can set an alert to trigger the Default_Action, which is a Fathom-defined process that occurs in response to the status, availability, or performance of a monitored resource. In this situation, you can choose to associate the Default_Action to FathomTrendDatabase operations, or select None to indicate that no alert triggers.

> To change the general settings:

> 1. From the Fathom menu bar, select Options Configuration General. The Fathom General Configuration page appears in the detail frame and displays the current values:

> 2. Change either or both of the settings for the following options, as needed:
> - Select the Start Fathom automatically check box to start Fathom automatically when the AdminServer starts.
> - Click the Action to perform on internal Fathom alerts option to specify an action that Fathom performs when an internal alert is triggered.
> 3. Click Submit. The Fathom General Configuration page refreshes to reflect the changes you have made.
