> #### Monitoring database, OpenEdge, and system resources on a remote machine

> You can deploy Fathom to monitor the following remote resources:

> - Databases — Progress Version 9.1D or OpenEdge 10.0B. Fathom uses the dbagent to monitor all database resources.
> - OpenEdge servers — AppServer, WebSpeed, and NameServer.
> - System resources — CPU, memory, disk, and file system.

> A deployment in which Fathom is monitoring database, OpenEdge server, and system resources on a remote machine is shown in Figure 4–4.

> Figure 4–4: Remote monitoring of resources on one machine

> The illustration shown in Figure 4–4 presents a single installation of Fathom on Machine A, which is monitoring the following resources on Machine B:

> - Scripted and managed databases — A scripted database is a database that is not currently listed among the database resources that the AdminServer manages. A managed database is a database that the Progress Explorer and the AdminServer recognize and manage.
> You cannot set up a resource for a scripted database, or its associated file systems and disks, until the database is recognized as a managed database. For details, see the "Understanding managed and scripted databases" section.

> - OpenEdge servers — An OpenEdge server can be an AppServer, a NameServer, or a WebSpeed Transaction Server.
> - System resources — System resources are CPU, disk, memory, and file system.

> You can extend this deployment model to multiple hosts, as shown in Figure 4–5.

> Figure 4–5: Remote monitoring of resources on two machines

> The illustration shown in Figure 4–5 presents a single install of Fathom on Machine A, which is monitoring database (scripted and managed), OpenEdge server, and system resources on Machine B and Machine C.

> The number of remote hosts you monitor from the Fathom install on Machine A is limited only by the power of Machine A, the number of remote resources monitored, and the frequency with which they are polled.

> This deployment model is very effective in that it allows you to install Fathom on a non-production machine — that is, a machine other than one where your OpenEdge or other critical application resources run. The benefit of this deployment model is that it minimizes the impact of using Fathom to monitor your production machines.
