> ### Selecting a system, network, or file resource to monitor

> Fathom automatically creates one CPU resource and one memory resource for each container. You use the management console to create additional system, network, or file resources to monitor.

> To create a resource monitor:

> 1. Select Resources from the menu bar. The Fathom Resources page appears:

> 2. Click New Resource Monitor. The New Resource Monitor page appears:

> 3. From the list of resource types available, select the specific resource for which you want to add a resource monitor.
> Note: For the purpose of illustration, the procedures in this section describe how to create a disk resource monitor and then define its properties and monitoring plan.

> 4. Click Disk. The Create Disk Monitor page appears:

> If there are remote containers online, a dropdown list of container names also appears.

> You can now specify the resource's properties.

> 5. Enter the name of the resource in the Name field. For all resources, this value must be less than or equal to 32 characters with no spaces between words. Also, you cannot use periods or special characters.
> 6. Enter a description of the resource in the Description field. You can enter a maximum of 256 characters.
> 7. From the Disk drop-down list, select the disk for which you are creating this resource monitor. The drop-down list displays the reference that your operating system uses to recognize each disk drive available on your system.
> 8. Select the Enabled option to enable the resource monitor to begin monitoring. This option is usually checked by default. (If you want to create a monitor that does not immediately begin monitoring, clear the option. The monitor is then disabled until you enable it.)
> 9. Click Save. The Create Monitoring Plan page appears:

> You can now create the resource's monitoring plan.
