Description

The `monitor` subcommand displays statistics for commonly monitored
\{product---name} components and services. The `--type` option must be
used to specify the object for which statistics are to be displayed.
Data is displayed continuously in a tabular form, or the data can be
displayed at a particular time interval by using the `--interval`
option.

Before a given component or service can be monitored, monitoring must be
enabled (set to HIGH or LOW) for the component or service by using the
Administration Console, the enable-monitoring subcommand, or the set
subcommand.

The monitor subcommand has options for filtering the results and
capturing the output in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. The output
appears in a table format. To view the legend of the table header, type
`h`.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

`--filter`::
  Do not specify this option. This option is retained for compatibility

Example 1   Displaying Monitoring Statistics by Interval

This example displays monitoring data for the JVM machine every 2000
seconds.
