+# 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.
+
+### IDO Backend <a id="monitoring-module-backends-ido"></a>
+
+Option                   | Description
+-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------
+type                     | **Required.** Specify the backend type. Must be set to `ido`.
+resource                 | **Required.** Specify a defined [resource](../../../doc/04-Resources.md#resources-configuration-database) name which provides details about the IDO database resource.
+
+
+Example for using the database resource `icinga2_ido_mysql`:
+
+```
+[icinga2_ido_mysql]
+type = "ido"
+resource = "icinga2_ido_mysql"
+```
