Monitor Linux System Performance Using Nmon
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
Nmon (also known as Nigel’s Monitor) is a computer performance system monitor tool for the AIX and Linux operating systems developed by IBM employee Nigel Griffiths. The tool displays onscreen or saves to a data file the operating system statistics to aid in the understanding of computer resource use, tuning options and bottlenecks. This system benchmark tool gives you a huge amount of important performance information in one go with a single command. You can easily monitor your system’s CPU, memory, network, disks, file systems, NFS, top processes, resources and power micro-partition information using Nmon.
|
||
|
||
### Installing Nmon ###
|
||
|
||
By default nmon is available in the Ubuntu repository. You can easily install nmon by running the following command:
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get install nmon
|
||
|
||
How to Use Nmon to Monitor Linux Performance
|
||
|
||
Once the installation has been finished, you can launch it by typing the `nmon` command in the terminal.
|
||
|
||
nmon
|
||
|
||
You wI’ll see the following output:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You can see from the above screenshot that the nmon command-line utility runs completely in interactive mode, and you can easily toggle statistics using shortcut keys.
|
||
|
||
You can use the following nmon keyboard shortcuts to display different system stats:
|
||
|
||
- `q` : to stop and exit Nmon
|
||
- `h` : to see help screen
|
||
- `c` : see CPU stats
|
||
- `m` : see memory stats
|
||
- `d` : see disk stats
|
||
- `k` : see kernel stats
|
||
- `n` : see network stats
|
||
- `N` : see NFS stats
|
||
- `j` : see file system stats
|
||
- `t` : see top process
|
||
- `V` : see virtual memory stats
|
||
- `v` : verbose mode
|
||
|
||
### Check CPU by Processor ###
|
||
|
||
If you would like to collect some statistics on CPU performance, you should hit the c key on the keyboard.
|
||
|
||
After hitting the c key you wI’ll see the following output.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Check Top Process Statistics ###
|
||
|
||
To get stats on top processes that are running on your system, press the t key on your keyboard.
|
||
|
||
You will see the following output.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Check Network Statistics ###
|
||
|
||
To get the network stats of your Linux system, just press the n key on your keyboard.
|
||
|
||
You wI’ll see the following output:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Disk I/O Graphs ###
|
||
|
||
Use the `d` key to get information about disks.
|
||
|
||
You wI’ll see the following output:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Check Kernel Information ###
|
||
|
||
A most important key to use with this tool is `k;` it is used to display some brief information on the kernel of your system.
|
||
|
||
You will see the following output after hitting the `k` key on your keyboard.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Get System Information ###
|
||
|
||
A very useful key for every system admin is the `r` key which is used to give information on different resources such as machine architecture, operating system version, Linux version and CPU.
|
||
|
||
You will see the following output by hitting the `r` key.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Conclusion ###
|
||
|
||
There are many other tools that can do the same job of the Nmon, but Nmon is so usee friendly for a Linux beginner. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions.
