/**
 * Defines a monitor MBean designed to observe the values of a gauge attribute.
 *
 * <P> A gauge monitor observes an attribute that is continuously
 * variable with time. A gauge monitor sends notifications as
 * follows:
 *
 * <UL>
 *
 * <LI> if the attribute value is increasing and becomes equal to or
 * greater than the high threshold value, a {@link
 * MonitorNotification#THRESHOLD_HIGH_VALUE_EXCEEDED threshold high
 * notification} is sent. The notify high flag must be set to
 * <CODE>true</CODE>.
 *
 * <BR>Subsequent crossings of the high threshold value do not cause
 * further notifications unless the attribute value becomes equal to
 * or less than the low threshold value.</LI>
 *
 * <LI> if the attribute value is decreasing and becomes equal to or
 * less than the low threshold value, a {@link
 * MonitorNotification#THRESHOLD_LOW_VALUE_EXCEEDED threshold low
 * notification} is sent. The notify low flag must be set to
 * <CODE>true</CODE>.
 *
 * <BR>Subsequent crossings of the low threshold value do not cause
 * further notifications unless the attribute value becomes equal to
 * or greater than the high threshold value.</LI>
 *
 * </UL>
 *
 * This provides a hysteresis mechanism to avoid repeated triggering
 * of notifications when the attribute value makes small oscillations
 * around the high or low threshold value.
 *
 * <P> If the gauge difference mode is used, the value of the derived
 * gauge is calculated as the difference between the observed gauge
 * values for two successive observations.
 *
 * <BR>The derived gauge value (V[t]) is calculated using the following method:
 * <UL>
 * <LI>V[t] = gauge[t] - gauge[t-GP]</LI>
 * </UL>
 *
 * This implementation of the gauge monitor requires the observed
 * attribute to be of the type integer or floating-point
 * (<CODE>Byte</CODE>, <CODE>Integer</CODE>, <CODE>Short</CODE>,
 * <CODE>Long</CODE>, <CODE>Float</CODE>, <CODE>Double</CODE>).
