> #### Characteristics of AppServer resource log file monitors

> Data that you can capture and view using the AppServer resources log file monitors and viewers can help you to:

> - Ensure the integrity of these log files by monitoring files for errors and allowing you to define actions that trigger when errors occur.
> - Use predefined AppServer-related search criteria, or create your own, to run against the data in these log files. Fathom predefines search criteria to support the broker and servers log file monitors.
> Figure 4–5 shows an example of the Search Criteria subcategories, including the AppServer Broker and AppServer Server links to the predefined search criteria.

> Figure 4–5: AppServer-related search criteria

> You can create and maintain the search criteria for each of the AppServer resources in two locations:

> - At the AppServer resource local file monitor instance level. The search text and type are not shareable at this level. See the "Customizing an AppServer Broker log file monitor" section for details.
> - At the Fathom Component Library level under the AppServer subcategory.The search text and type are shareable at this level. See the "Working with rule sets" section for details.

> Specifically, the predefined search criteria provide:

> - Detailed data about the recorded operations of an AppServer broker or AppServers.
> - A means by which you can extract detailed data.
