Reimagining nmon Using InfluxDB

IBM engineer Nigel Griffiths built nmon in the 1990s to monitor operating system performance data for AIX. Since its original launch, Griffiths revisited and revamped nmon. For example, he built an open-source version for Linux. Despite drastic change in the very nature of computing and exponential growth in storage, memory, and compute power, it wasn’t until 2018 that Griffiths sought to completely re-write the tool and bring it into alignment with modern computer systems.
