Provides classes for monitoring instrumented HotSpot Java Virtual Machines.
</p>
<p>
The classes in this package provide abstractions for:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><p>Identifying monitorable hosts and Java Virtual Machines.</p></li>
<li><p>Monitoring the creation and destruction of instrumented
Java Virtual Machines on local and remote hosts.</p></li>
<li><p>Discovering and Monitoring instrumentation exported by an
instrumented Java Virtual Machine.</p></li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
The {@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredHost} class provides the
interface to acquire concrete implementations for discovering instrumented
Java Virtual Machines on a specific host. It serves a factory for creating
MonitoredHost instances for specific hosts and for creating
{@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredVm} instances for specific
instrumented Java Virtual Machines on those hosts.
</p>
<p>
The {@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitoredVm} instances provide an
interface for discovery of instrumentation objects and the
{@link sun.jvmstat.monitor.Monitor} interfaces provide a mechanism
for monitoring the instrumentation exported by a JVM.
