<dubbo:service interface="org.apache.dubbo.monitor.MonitorService" ref="monitorService" />
<bean id="monitorService" class="org.apache.dubbo.monitor.simple.SimpleMonitorService" />

Discovery the monitor service int the registry:
<dubbo:monitor protocol="registry" />
or

dubbo.monitor.protocol=registry
