This applies a new structure for the main doc/ and modules/*/doc tree with 01-About.md 02-Installation.md ... This allows us to link from the main doc directory into module specific documentation entries. Furthermore table formatting, examples, and missing settings have been added where applicable. This patch also takes care about proper URL anchors and file names and directories. fixes #2950

# Backends <a id="monitoring-module-backends"></a>
|

|
|
The configuration file `backends.ini` contains information about data sources which are
|
|
used to fetch monitoring objects presented to the user.
|
|
|
|
The required [resources](../../../doc/04-Resources.md#resources-configuration-database) must be globally defined beforehand.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration <a id="monitoring-module-backends-configuration"></a>
|
|
|
|
Navigate into `Configuration` -> `Modules` -> `Monitoring` -> `Backends`.
|
|
You can select a specified global resource here, and also update its details.
|
|
|
|
Each section in `backends.ini` references a resource. By default you should only have one backend enabled.
