> #### Discovering and enabling local resources

> Once the installation and configuration steps have been completed, Fathom automatically creates a Fathom resource monitor for each WebSpeed broker, AppServer broker, and NameServer instance that it detects; the specific resources depend on the actual OpenEdge server products installed. 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 part of this discovery process, Fathom enables each locally defined broker or NameServer instance and begins monitoring them right away. You can elect to disable any resources, implement data collection (for brokers only), and modify the default monitoring plan and rules as needed.

> Note: Fathom Management runs as a managed service in the AdminServer. Therefore, a local resource is defined as a Fathom-recognized resource that is running in the AdminServer on the same machine where Fathom Management is installed.
