      See Also:
        `setObservedObject(javax.management.ObjectName)`

    - #### setObservedObject

          @Deprecated
          void setObservedObject(ObjectName object)

      Deprecated. As of JMX 1.2, replaced by `addObservedObject(javax.management.ObjectName)`
      Sets the object to observe identified by its object name.
      Parameters:
        `object` - The object to observe.
      See Also:
        `getObservedObject()`

    - #### getObservedAttribute

          String getObservedAttribute()

      Gets the attribute being observed.
      Returns:
        The attribute being observed.

        `attribute` - The attribute to observe.
      See Also:
        `getObservedAttribute()`

    - #### getGranularityPeriod

          long getGranularityPeriod()

      Gets the granularity period (in milliseconds).
