nmon for Linux Download Pre-Compiled Binaries

Note: To download the nmon source code go to "Compiling nmon + Source Code" on the left-hand menu.
Updated 30th Oct 2023

Instructions for getting a working binary copy of nmon for Linux:

Select the right platform, Linux Distribution and version and then download the matching file.
If the file ends with a .zip then use unzip to extract the files (unnzip filename). Same for .gz use gunzip filename and .tar use tar xvf filename
Make sure after using FTP that the file(s) has execute permission for your user.
Find the right enclosed binary file and start it. The file name should be fairly obvious like the Power SUSE SLES 15 file in "nmon_power_sles15"

If you need a specific platform Linux Distribution + version that is not here then please go to the left hand menu: Source Code and compiling it yourself. You need the GCC C language compiler and the ncurses-development library. The compile takes a few seconds.

Current Version 16p - small fix - 29 August 2023

Small improvements on-screen Box and Disk I/O stats includes lmon16n 240 maximum number of CPU cores. Plus code changes to clean compile for the latest GCC 12.

Current Version 16k and 16m with small fixes

nmon16k = 25 Sept 2019 and nmon16m = 24 Feb 2020
Small bug fixes plus better stats for Dedicate Donating LPARs on POWER servers, specifically used by SAP HANA.

lmon16j - 7th April 2019 - NO LONGER SUPPORTED
Small bug fixed
1. If you don't need memory shared stats and don't use Disk Groups extended stats (like service times) then you could skip this update.
2. Just use this for new installs.
lmon16h - 2nd January 2019 - NO LONGER SUPPORTED
1. Small bug fixed
2. 31st Jan freshly compiled to 36 variations of Linux versions and hardware: POWER and x86_64
lmon16g - 20th April 2017 - NO LONGER SUPPORTED
1. Small changes only.
2. Now cope with 192 physical CPU cores with SMT=8 (for POWER8 servers)
3. Fixed bug reported with NFS automount in data capture mode
  1. Alternatively, completely switch off JFS stats in capture mode with "-J"
4. Online view: remove File systems that are "not real" to reduce screen space. Hit "j" and then "J" to remove the pointless file systems
5. Online view: Small clean up of the titles for the Memory stats (m)
lmon16f and anything before this release - NO LONGER SUPPORTED

Notes on exact version match:

If you can't find the exactly Linux version you want then try the near it in technology like Kernel release or code stream.
The only reason it's complied for different versions of Linux is slight differences in the Libc library - this can cause nmon to refuse to start.
Also note the Open SUSE and SLES are closely related and so too is Fedora and Red Hat are related - so you might find one of these works too.
Now a quick test of the closest match. Start it online and have a quick look at the CPU, memory, disk and top processes. Any problems should be obvious but make sure you are running some workloads as a screen of zeros does not prove much. I use: yes >/dev/null - to generate some work.
Also worth checking is that data is saved to a file OK and run the data through your nmon file analyser to double-check the format is OK.
If there are problems you need to recompile nmon for you precise Linux version. As nmon is a single file this is not hard.

Historic Old Versions - Please avoid these

Only use the below nmon versions if you are running a very old versions of Linux on very old hardware that is not supported by the above nmon versions.
For Raspberry Pi running ARM processor with Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu - please recompile the latest nmon version.
For IBM Mainframe servers (now called Z) running SuSE Enterprise Linux (SLES) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) - please recompile the latest version.
For POWER servers with NVIDIA GPUs - You will be running RHEL - please recompile the latest version but include the Makefile GPU options to add the extra code to nmon and have the NVIDIA libraries installed.
