<pre>public interface <span class="strong">Monitorable</span></pre>
<div class="block">A <code>Monitorable</code> can provide information about itself in the form of
<code>StatusVariables</code>. Instances of this interface should register
themselves at the OSGi Service Registry. The <code>MonitorAdmin</code> listens to
the registration of <code>Monitorable</code> services, and makes the information
they provide available also through the Device Management Tree (DMT) for
remote access.
<p>
The monitorable service is identified by its PID string which must be a non-
<code>null</code>, non-empty string that conforms to the "symbolic-name"
definition in the OSGi core specification. This means that only the
characters [-_.a-zA-Z0-9] may be used. The length of the PID must not exceed
32 characters.
<p>
A <code>Monitorable</code> may optionally support sending notifications when the
status of its <code>StatusVariables</code> change. Support for change
notifications can be defined per <code>StatusVariable</code>.
<p>
Publishing <code>StatusVariables</code> requires the presence of the
<code>MonitorPermission</code> with the <code>publish</code> action string. This
permission, however, is not checked during registration of the
<code>Monitorable</code> service. Instead, the <code>MonitorAdmin</code> implementation
must make sure that when a <code>StatusVariable</code> is queried, it is shown
only if the <code>Monitorable</code> is authorized to publish the given
<code>StatusVariable</code>.</div>
