There is reasonable documentation for the engine written
by Chris in the Wiki

http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/Capture_Engine

I have seen documentation for monitor, so I tried to locate it again.
This is the result:

There exists source of documentation for monitor in RTEMS sources

rtems/doc/new_chapters/monitor.t

but I have feeling, that it is not included in any printable documentation
format (PDF, PS). It seems, that INFO is generated

http://www.rtems.com/onlinedocs/releases/rtemsdocs-4.6.6/info/new_chapters.info

There are other interresting features described in the "new_chapters".
It is probably place for preparation of docs and should be moved to the other
manuals when ready.
It probably waits for somebody to look after that task one day.

Best wishes
