bmon for Fedora Core

Posted in Linux, Scalability by Elliott Back on June 9th, 2007.

If you want to monitoring the bandwidth in/out of your linux server, a tool like bmon is essential. Use the fedora core RPMs from dries rather than compiling from source, it’s a lot easier. For some reason it refused to link to my ncurses, but once I installed the binary I got this beautiful graph:

You can run it with bmon -r .1 -R 30 to get a 30 second average, or with -o ascii to get terminal “plain” output for use with the standard linux pipes, cuts and other tools.
