## What it is
jvm-mon is a console-based tool for monitoring JVM server applications from the terminal. Rewritten in Go as a single executable, it attaches a bundled Java agent to running JVM processes to display CPU, GC load, heap usage, and top threads.

## Use cases
- monitor jvm processes over ssh
- check heap usage of a java server from terminal
- see which jvm threads use the most cpu
- view gc load on a running java application
- list running jvm processes on a server
- kill a stuck jvm process from the console

## When to choose
- you ssh into servers and want a quick terminal view of JVM health
- you don't have a JDK installed on the target machine
- you prefer a lightweight single-binary alternative to full APM tools

## When to avoid
- you need historical metrics, dashboards, or alerting
- you monitor non-JVM runtimes
- you need remote monitoring without SSH access to the host

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, cli, terminal-ui
- domain: monitoring, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: jvm, java, terminal-monitoring, process-monitoring, heap-usage, gc-metrics, command-line, macos, linux
