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.
