CounterMonitor

public class CounterMonitor extends Monitor implements CounterMonitorMBean
Defines a monitor MBean designed to observe the values of a counter attribute.

A counter monitor sends a {@link MonitorNotification#THRESHOLD_VALUE_EXCEEDED threshold notification} when the value of the counter reaches or exceeds a threshold known as the comparison level. The notify flag must be set to true.

In addition, an offset mechanism enables particular counting intervals to be detected. If the offset value is not zero, whenever the threshold is triggered by the counter value reaching a comparison level, that comparison level is incremented by the offset value. This is regarded as taking place instantaneously, that is, before the count is incremented. Thus, for each level, the threshold triggers an event notification every time the count increases by an interval equal to the offset value.

If the counter can wrap around its maximum value, the modulus needs to be specified. The modulus is the value at which the counter is reset to zero.

If the counter difference mode is used, the value of the derived gauge is calculated as the difference between the observed counter values for two successive observations. If this difference is negative, the value of the derived gauge is incremented by the value of the modulus. The derived gauge value (V[t]) is calculated using the following method:

  • if (counter[t] - counter[t-GP]) is positive then V[t] = counter[t] - counter[t-GP]
  • if (counter[t] - counter[t-GP]) is negative then V[t] = counter[t] - counter[t-GP] + MODULUS
This implementation of the counter monitor requires the observed attribute to be of the type integer (Byte, Integer, Short, Long).

Fields Summary
private Number
modulus
Counter modulus.
The default value is a null Integer object.
private Number
offset
Counter offset.
The default value is a null Integer object.
private boolean
notify
Flag indicating if the counter monitor notifies when exceeding the threshold. The default value is set to false.
private boolean
differenceMode
Flag indicating if the counter difference mode is used. If the counter difference mode is used, the derived gauge is the difference between two consecutive observed values. Otherwise, the derived gauge is directly the value of the observed attribute. The default value is set to false.
private Number
initThreshold
Initial counter threshold. This value is used to initialize the threshold when a new object is added to the list and reset the threshold to its initial value each time the counter resets.
