Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:Monitor [NONE]
All Implemented Interfaces: `MBeanRegistration, MonitorMBean, NotificationBroadcaster, NotificationEmitter` Direct Known Subclasses: `CounterMonitor, GaugeMonitor, StringMonitor` public abstract class Monitor extends NotificationBroadcasterSupport implements MonitorMBean, MBeanRegistration Defines the part common to all monitor MBeans. A monitor MBean monitors values of an attribute common to a set of observed MBeans. The observed attribute is monitored at intervals specified by the granularity period. A gauge value (derived gauge) is derived from the values of the observed attribute. Since: 1.5

### field:capacityIncrement [NONE]
### capacityIncrement protected static final int capacityIncrement The amount by which the capacity of the monitor arrays are automatically incremented when their size becomes greater than their capacity. See Also: Constant Field Values

### field:elementCount [NONE]
### elementCount protected int elementCount The number of valid components in the vector of observed objects.

### field:alreadyNotified [NONE]

### field:alreadyNotifieds [NONE]
### alreadyNotifieds protected int[] alreadyNotifieds Selected monitor errors that have already been notified. Each element in this array corresponds to an observed object in the vector. It contains a bit mask of the flags `OBSERVED_OBJECT_ERROR_NOTIFIED` etc, indicating whether the corresponding notification has already been sent for the MBean being monitored.

### field:server [NONE]
### server protected MBeanServer server Reference to the MBean server. This reference is null when the monitor MBean is not registered in an MBean server. This reference is initialized before the monitor MBean is registered in the MBean server. See Also: `preRegister(MBeanServer server, ObjectName name)`

### field:RESET_FLAGS_ALREADY_NOTIFIED [NONE]
### RESET_FLAGS_ALREADY_NOTIFIED protected static final int RESET_FLAGS_ALREADY_NOTIFIED This flag is used to reset the `alreadyNotifieds` monitor attribute. See Also: Constant Field Values

### field:OBSERVED_OBJECT_ERROR_NOTIFIED [NONE]
### OBSERVED_OBJECT_ERROR_NOTIFIED protected static final int OBSERVED_OBJECT_ERROR_NOTIFIED Flag denoting that a notification has occurred after changing the observed object. This flag is used to check that the new observed object is registered in the MBean server at the time of the first notification. See Also: Constant Field Values

### field:OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_NOTIFIED [NONE]
### OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_NOTIFIED protected static final int OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_NOTIFIED Flag denoting that a notification has occurred after changing the observed attribute.

### field:OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_ERROR_NOTIFIED [NONE]
### OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_ERROR_NOTIFIED protected static final int OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_ERROR_NOTIFIED Flag denoting that a notification has occurred after changing the observed object or the observed attribute. This flag is used to check that the observed attribute type is correct (depending on the monitor in use) at the time of the first notification. See Also: Constant Field Values

### field:RUNTIME_ERROR_NOTIFIED [NONE]
### RUNTIME_ERROR_NOTIFIED protected static final int RUNTIME_ERROR_NOTIFIED Flag denoting that a notification has occurred after changing the observed object or the observed attribute. This flag is used to notify any exception (except the cases described above) when trying to get the value of the observed attribute at the time of the first notification. See Also: Constant Field Values
