First, the monitor tool is something of a work in progress and we have 
just recently been working to bring it up to date and add additional 
features.  There are some definite problems with the monitor tool in 
Open DDS 2.3 and if you are interested in it I recommend either working 
with the latest code from subversion or waiting for the next release of 
OpenDDS.

You need to enable monitoring in any processes that you want to monitor. 
  See the test in $DDDS_ROOT/DCPS/Monitor for an example of how to 
initialize a publisher and subscriber for monitoring.  There is a 
description of this initialization in $DDS_ROOT/dds/monitor.  Once the 
monitoring code is enabled in the publisher and subscriber processes 
they should begin publishing their monitor data.  Note that doing this 
in OpenDDS 2.3 will definitely not work properly.
