Hello nmon user,
This file introduces nmon for AIX 5L version 11e.
This is a full version but seems to me to be stable enough for real work.
But please test it a little before removing your older nmon version.
If you are using the nmon2rrd or nmon Analyser, please also check these tool
accept the new data files generated by nmon 11.
Please feedback any problems to the developer Nigel Griffiths at nag@uk.ibm.com
A zipped sample output file (not too big please) is also helpful.
nmon has moved to the new IBM AIX Wiki Website which will mean that new versions
can be release much more effectively and information updated on demand. See below
