> #### Server and agent details

> In association with each broker, Fathom displays server and agent data. This information provides you additional performance data to better manage your connection workload. As necessary, you can add or trim servers or agents to maximize the use of your existing resources and respond to fluctuations in processing demands.

> The OpenEdge server resource discovery process begins with the discovery of resources and the automatic creation of default monitoring plans for these resources. As part of this process, Fathom creates log file monitors not only for the primary local resources (AppServer broker, WebSpeed broker, or NameServer), but also for the server and agent resources associated with these resources. For example, Fathom creates an AppServer broker server log file for each local AppServer broker resource.

> Log file monitors, in general, are information tools that can help you to analyze the data you can collect from within their associated files; these details can aid you in determining performance expectations and examine trends.
