35Provides classes for monitoring instrumented HotSpot Java Virtual Machines.
36</p>
37<p>
38The classes in this package provide abstractions for:
39</p>
40<p>
41<ul>
42 <li><p>Identifying monitorable hosts and Java Virtual Machines.</p></li>
43 <li><p>Monitoring the creation and destruction of instrumented
44 Java Virtual Machines on local and remote hosts.</p></li>
45 <li><p>Discovering and Monitoring instrumentation exported by an
46 instrumented Java Virtual Machine.</p></li>
47</ul>
48</p>
49<p>
50The {@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredHost} class provides the
51interface to acquire concrete implementations for discovering instrumented
52Java Virtual Machines on a specific host. It serves a factory for creating
53MonitoredHost instances for specific hosts and for creating
54{@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredVm} instances for specific
55instrumented Java Virtual Machines on those hosts.
56</p>
57<p>
58The {@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredVm} instances provide an
59interface for discovery of instrumentation objects and the
60{@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.Monitor} interfaces provide a mechanism
61for monitoring the instrumentation exported by a JVM.
