The sun.management.JMXConnectorServer.<counter>.<key> perf counters are not updated when the remote management agent is stopped.

It is no longer possible to connect to the remote agent, but the counters are still in the same state.
We were hoping to use these counters in JMC to be able to know the state of the remote agent.
