Some of the underlying MBeans that are registered as services are proxy MBeans for remote services—including one for EAServer and one for SNMP. These MBeans provide a view of remote processes—such as EAServer or the SNMP master agent—and can monitor the state of these remote processes. If a remote process dies, you can obtain the state of the process from the proxy MBean.
You can also use a proxy MBean to start or stop a remote process directly, or to view the process’s log file.
