# 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.
