ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nmon

Okay kiddo, so nmon is like a doctor for your computer. You know how we go to the doctor to check our health, right? Similarly, nmon keeps a check on the health of your computer.

It tracks things like how much the computer is being used, what applications are running, and how much memory is being used. It also keeps an eye on things like the CPU temperature and the speed of the fan.

Imagine if you were sick and you went to the doctor. The doctor would run some tests to figure out what's wrong with you, right? Similarly, nmon runs tests on your computer to figure out if there are any problems.

And just like the doctor gives you a report telling you what's wrong, nmon gives you a report too. This report is called a \"log\", and it tells you all the important things that nmon found about your computer.

So in short, nmon is a program that takes care of your computer's health and tells you what steps you can take to keep your computer running smoothly.
