> ### Viewing resource monitor performance details

> You can acquire information about resource performance in the following ways:

> - Create a collection of resources. The collection functions as a group, and each resource is a member. When you create a collection, you typically choose resources with a common characteristic; for example, you might create a collection of databases that span multiple hosts but support one particular application.
> - Create one or more custom, collection views that display only the details you want to see. For example, you can create a custom view of all monitoring plans you have in place, or find out any number of specifics about a particular database. The details that the custom view contains are determined by you and appear in individual panes knows as viewlets. Each viewlet provides details in a graphical format and allows you to get a quick status of only those pieces of information you find key at any particular time.
> Fathom provides you with a default custom view, known as the My Fathom Home page.

> - Create and run a report that includes performance data (in both graphical and HTML formats) about one or more resources. When you create a report, you can use one of the report templates that Fathom provides, or you can create your own report template. Creating a report and running it need not be done at the same time; you can create a number of reports and schedule them to run at a particular time. You can review a list of reports you have scheduled to run and a list of reports that are currently running.
> You can also run a real-time report with a specific focus, such as a database summary or statistics about open alerts (in detail or summary format) by using the Realtime Reports option.

> See the Reporting Guide for details about creating and running Fathom reports.
