/**
 * Defines a monitor MBean designed to observe the values of a counter
 * attribute.
 *
 * <P> 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 <CODE>true</CODE>.
 *
 * <P> 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.
 *
 * <P> 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.
 *
 * <P> 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:
 *
 * <UL>
 * <LI>if (counter[t] - counter[t-GP]) is positive then
 * V[t] = counter[t] - counter[t-GP]
 * <LI>if (counter[t] - counter[t-GP]) is negative then
 * V[t] = counter[t] - counter[t-GP] + MODULUS
 * </UL>
 *
 * This implementation of the counter monitor requires the observed
 * attribute to be of the type integer (<CODE>Byte</CODE>,
 * <CODE>Integer</CODE>, <CODE>Short</CODE>, <CODE>Long</CODE>).
