Each service monitor is designed in a way that allows it to be configured differently for the session (that is, transport) it is going to interact with. To configure the FIX service monitors for a particular session, the following event must be sent to the correlator:

Each monitor defines it own configuration parameters and sending in this event can be thought of as simultaneously creating a new instance of each service monitor and tailoring its behavior to a particular session. This concept is illustrated below:

Note, it is not possible to use the FIX service monitors without having first configured them for at least one session.
