## What it is
grmon is a command-line tool for monitoring goroutines in running Go programs, displaying them in a top-like terminal UI. It connects to an application's pprof endpoint via a small agent library or the standard net/http/pprof server.

## Use cases
- monitor goroutines in a running go application
- debug goroutine leaks in go services
- view full stack traces of goroutines from the terminal
- inspect pprof goroutine data with a top-like interface
- filter and sort goroutines by keyword
- troubleshoot deadlocked or blocked goroutines

## When to choose
- you need a quick interactive view of goroutine state in a Go process
- you want a top-style TUI over the standard pprof goroutine endpoint
- you are debugging concurrency issues like leaks or deadlocks in Go

## When to avoid
- you need long-term metrics collection or alerting rather than interactive inspection
- your application cannot expose a pprof endpoint
- you need profiling of CPU or memory rather than goroutine inspection
