    <para>
        <classname>Zend_Application_Resource_Zendmonitor</classname> is a resource that instantiates
        a <classname>Zend_Log</classname> instance with an attached <link
            linkend="zend.log.writers.zendmonitor">Zend_Log_Writer_ZendMonitor</link> writer. It can
        then be used within your application to log events to Zend Server's event monitor.
    </para>

    <para>
        It has no configuration parameters; as such, you will simply need to specify it within your
        configuration. Examples include:
    </para>

    <programlisting language="dosini"><![CDATA[
; INI configuration:
resources.zendmonitor[] =
]]></programlisting>

    <programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[
<!-- XML configuration -->
<resources>
    <zendmonitor />
</resources>
]]></programlisting>

    <para>
        Within your application, you can retrieve the logger from your bootstrap object:
    </para>

    <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
$bootstrap->bootstrap('Zendmonitor');
$log = $bootstrap->getResource('Zendmonitor');
$log->info('some message');
]]></programlisting>

    <para>
        The default project structure generated by the <command>zf.sh</command> or
        <command>zf.bat</command> commands will configure the resource by default, and adds code
        into the <classname>ErrorController</classname> to log application exceptions to the Zend
        Server event monitor. You can disable this functionality simply by removing the resource
        configuration from your configuration file.
