> ### Discovering and monitoring TCP and UDP ports

> Fathom supports network discovery procedures, which allow you to search for ports that are present on your network. The resource discovery process can save you time in identifying ports for which you want to set up resource monitors. Once you obtain search results, you can then quickly add resource monitors for active ports that you discover, populating the resource-monitoring plans with default values that you can later change, as necessary.

> Network discovery includes:

> - Reviewing the list of well-known ports.
> - Discovering network resources.
> - Adding resource monitors for discovered machines and ports.
