> #### Discovering and enabling remote resources

> If you have performed the necessary steps to monitor remote resources using Fathom Management, Fathom will also create a Fathom resource monitor for each WebSpeed broker, AppServer broker, and NameServer instance that it detects.

> As in the discovery process for local resources, Fathom enables each remotely defined broker or NameServer instance and begins monitoring them right away. This discovery process occurs any time Fathom detects new OpenEdge resource instances. This process will initially take place after you install and configure Fathom, and any time new OpenEdge resources are introduced.

> As needed, you can elect to disable any resources, implement data collection (for brokers only), or modify the default monitoring plan and rules.

> Note: Fathom Management runs as a managed service in the AdminServer. Therefore, a remote resource is defined as a Fathom-recognized resource that runs in an AdminServer that is not running Fathom. This resource might be on a machine that is physically separate from the machine where Fathom Management is installed, or it could be a different instance of an AdminServer running on the same machine that Fathom is running on.
