+This is a basic example on how to use the Predis\MonitorContext class.
+
+You can use redis-cli to send commands to the same Redis instance your client is
+connected to, and then type "ECHO QUIT_MONITOR" in redis-cli when you want to
+exit the monitor loop and terminate this script in a graceful way.

+// Use only one instance of DateTime, we will update the timestamp later.
+$timestamp = new DateTime();

+foreach (($monitor = $client->monitor()) as $event) {

+
+    // If we notice a ECHO command with the message QUIT_MONITOR, we close the
+    // monitor context and then break the loop.
