+monitoring server as soon as your application starts
+
+    import System.Remote.Monitoring
+

+         forkServer "localhost" 8000
+         ...
+
+and then visit [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/) in
+your web browser.
+
+# JSON API
+
+The monitoring server also lets you to retrieve the stats as JSON.
+Simply send the server an HTTP GET request with the Accept header set
+to "application/json":
