After successful installation of nmon, you can run the utility using command: nmon
or use the command: nmon -h to get the list entire command line help for noon, Once nmon is launched, an interactive screen with the various options will be displayed on the screen.
Second, Save the data to a comma separated file for analysis and longer term data capture.
Here is the simple command to put the nmon in background to collect the data:
* Use this together with nmon Analyser Excel spreadsheet, which loads the nmon output file and automatically creates dozens of graphs ready for you to study or write performance reports.
* Filter this data, add it to a rrd database (using an excellent freely available utility called rrdtool). This graphs the data to .gif or .png files plus generates the webpage .html file
