> ### Fathom Management Standard Edition product overview

> Fathom Management provides the following key features and benefits:

> - Provides centralized monitoring of the OpenEdge environment to present a comprehensive picture of the health and performance of your OpenEdge application with error reports, performance analysis, and trend analysis to support resource planning.
> - Can be used immediately to monitor the following local and remote resources: OpenEdge databases, system resources (such as CPU, memory, disk, or file system), OpenEdge server resources (AppServer, NameServer, WebSpeed Transaction Server), log files, disks, and file systems. Fathom also monitors network resources such as TCP- and UDP-based services.
> - Allows you to create collections and custom views from the My Fathom page. You can create and use a collection to better organize and operate on resources. You can also optionally create one or more custom views in Fathom and specify exactly what types of information you want to see. The information provides, sometimes in a graphical format, a customized view of your various resources' status.
> - Provides a graphical display of database views, which allows you to see at a glance what is happening in the database. The graphics appear in several different, easy-to-understand charts whose display you can open as a separate window and customize in style and size.
> A graphical representation of data also appears in the summary information for other resources—such as OpenEdge server resources, memory, CPU, disk, file, or file system resource— and for several AppServer- and WebSpeed-related performance views.

> - Enables you to configure alerts to notify appropriate IT personnel of problems with your OpenEdge applications. For example, you can configure alerts to send e-mail notifications to IT personnel and execute scripts.
> - Allows you to view, print, and save reports showing historical and trend data related to all of the monitored resources. Each report instance that you create and run is based on a report template, either one of the over 20 provided by Fathom, or one of your own creation. You can also write custom reports with the Progress® 4GL or use other reporting tools, such as Crystal Reports. Use this feature to help with capacity planning and forecasting.
> OpenEdge-related reports include a graphical and an HTML display of information.

> - Is easy to deploy, configure, and use. A multi-platform Web user interface allows you to configure and use Fathom through any compatible Web browser.
> - Allows you to define batch-style application programs using your existing scripts as Fathom Management jobs. You can schedule the jobs for execution at regular intervals. Fathom Management also provides historical reports of the jobs.
> - Is non intrusive. You are not required to make any changes to the network applications you choose to monitor.
> - Allows you to decide whether to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) when you are setting up:
> - Remote trending of data to the FathomTrendDatabase.
> - The Fathom Management Web server.
