> #### Rule details

> The Configuration Advisor calculates recommended rule threshold settings for rules associated with a variety of Fathom resources. This section highlights the WebSpeed broker and AppServer broker rules. See the Database Management Guide for details about the database rules. See the Resource Monitoring Guide for details about using the Configuration Advisor with a disk, CPU, or file system resource.

> The Configuration Advisor recognizes these WebSpeed broker and AppServer broker polled rules as candidates to process:

> - Queued Request Percent High.
> - Rejected Request Percent High.
> - Process CPU High.
> - Process Resident Memory High.
> - Process Virtual Memory High.

> For the Configuration Advisor to effectively analyze data for these polled rules, each rule must collect and trend data on every poll. Regardless of the time interval set for the polling, you must maintain a one-to-one relationship between trending and polling data.

> Also, the options to implement data collection for a broker resource must have been set (checked). For details about data collection and the WebSpeed broker, see the "Data collection details" section. For details about data collection and the AppServer broker, see the "Data collection details" section.

> ##### Rule-related considerations

> Note these points concerning rule processing:

> - A polled rule must be currently associated with a defined monitoring plan for it to be a candidate for the Configuration Advisor's data analysis process.
> - All rules associated with a given OpenEdge resource are individually evaluated against the rule-specific data retrieved from the FathomTrendDatase for the period of time you define.
> - The Configuration Advisor evaluates individual rules in a rule set. Therefore, updating a rule with a recommended setting changes the value that a rule uses if the rule is part of a rule set. Because rule sets are shared among resources of a given resource type, this value change might adversely effect other resources that are using this rule set.
