     *Monitor extension architecture*

As a request is processed the monitor inserts itself at particular points in 
the request life cycle to capture necessary data. That data is persisted to an 
external database::

  ID |  STATUS  | PATH |    START_TIME     | ...
  ----------------------------------------------
  1  | FINISHED | /wms | 2008-25-10  08:21 | ...
  2  | FAILED   | /wfs | 2008-25-10  08:22 | ...
  3  | RUNNING  | /wcs | 2008-25-10  08:25 | ...

The request data is made available through various reports:
