## What it is
kmon is a terminal-based Linux kernel manager and activity monitor written in Rust. It lets users view kernel information, manage kernel modules, and monitor kernel activities from a TUI.

## Use cases
- monitor linux kernel activity in the terminal
- load and unload kernel modules from a tui
- view detailed kernel information and logs
- manage kernel modules without writing modprobe commands
- watch kernel messages and dmesg output interactively

## When to choose
- you administer Linux systems and want a TUI for kernel/module management
- you need to inspect kernel logs and module states quickly
- you prefer Rust-based, lightweight terminal tools

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based kernel management tool
- you are on a non-Linux operating system
- you need deep kernel debugging beyond module and log monitoring

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, cli, terminal-ui, developer-tools
- domain: operating-systems, monitoring, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: kernel-modules, tui, rust, kernel-management, system-monitoring, command-line, linux
