About:
JvmMon is a lightweight, console-based monitoring tool for the Java Virtual Machine. It provides a real-time, terminal-user-interface (TUI) dashboard that displays key metrics like heap memory usage, garbage collection statistics, and thread counts. This tool enables developers to monitor JVM health and performance directly from the command line without needing a heavy GUI-based profiler.
Key Features:
  • Real-time TUI dashboard for JVM metrics
  • Monitors heap memory, GC activity, and threads
  • Lightweight and runs entirely in the terminal
  • Connects to local or remote JVM processes
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring application performance on headless servers
  • Diagnosing memory leaks or high CPU usage during development
  • Quickly checking JVM health without launching a full IDE
Alternatives:
  • VisualVM – VisualVM provides a rich GUI with deep profiling capabilities, whereas JvmMon is a lightweight CLI tool for quick monitoring.
  • jconsole – jconsole is a standard JMX-compliant graphical tool, while JvmMon offers a more modern, streamlined terminal interface.
