How To Install mon on Fedora 34
mon is General-purpose resource monitoring system
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install mon on Fedora 34.
What is mon
Mon is a general-purpose resource monitoring system. It can be used to monitor network service availability, server problems, environmental conditions (i.e., the temperature in a room) or other things. Mon can be used to test the condition and/or to trigger an action upon failure of the condition. Mon keeps the testing and action-taking tasks as separate, stand-alone programs. Mon is very extensible. Monitors and alerts are not a part of mon, but the distribution comes with a handful of them to get you started. This means that if a new service needs monitoring, or if a new alert is required, the mon server will not need to be changed.
We can use yum or dnf to install mon on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install mon.
