Class Monitor

java.lang.Object
javax.management.NotificationBroadcasterSupport
javax.management.monitor.Monitor
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.

  • Field Details

    • 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:

    • elementCount

      protected int elementCount
      The number of valid components in the vector of observed objects.

    • alreadyNotified

      @Deprecated protected int alreadyNotified
      Deprecated.
      equivalent to alreadyNotifieds[0].
      Monitor errors that have already been notified.

    • 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.

    • 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:

    • RESET_FLAGS_ALREADY_NOTIFIED

      protected static final int RESET_FLAGS_ALREADY_NOTIFIED
      This flag is used to reset the alreadyNotifieds monitor attribute.
      See Also:

    • 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:

    • OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_NOTIFIED

      protected static final int OBSERVED_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_NOTIFIED
      Flag denoting that a notification has occurred after changing the observed attribute. This flag is used to check that the new observed attribute belongs to the observed object at the time of the first notification.
      See Also:

    • 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:

    • 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.
