Adaptive Monitoring

This article is a stub, as there are different technologies available to adaptively instrument applications. However, we need a place to collect some content.

Note

There is a section in java-monitoring-controller-api also addressing this topic. The grammar should be moved to API and only referenced from here.

Note

Please recheck whether the grammar is still correct.

Note

Add list of options how to control adaptive monitoring.
