MuldexMon is a terminal-based application for GNU/Linux that enables users to monitor their Muldex-connected systems in real-time. The software provides an easy way to view system information and keep track of the status of multiple systems.
The installation process for MuldexMon is simple and straightforward. Users just need to download the MuldexMon binary distribution and untar its contents. MuldexMon does not require a system-wide installation and can be run in-place. However, the software has a few dependencies such as libncurses and libtcl that must be installed on the system. Fortunately, these dependencies should not be a problem for any modern GNU/Linux distribution to satisfy.
Before MuldexMon can subscribe to the data available on their Muldex account, users must have a Muldex user with subscribe capabilities configured for the subject ID they plan to run MuldexMon from. To configure this, users must log in to the Muldex web interface and follow the basic steps as described on the website.
MuldexMon uses one configuration file that stores the subject ID of the host users are running MuldexMon on. This is a common file used amongst both subscribers and samplers for identifying with the Muldex service. The software looks in /etc/muldex/id.conf for this file by default. However, users can change the configuration directory by setting MULDEX_CONF_DIR to their preferred configuration directory in the MuldexMon startup script monitor.sh. The id.conf file should contain one line that specifies the subject ID number.
MuldexMon provides users with keystroke shortcuts like j or arrow-down to move subject selection down within the current context, k or arrow-up to move subject selection up within the current context, / to search subjects, q to quit, among others. These shortcuts provide users with an enjoyable user experience.
Overall, MuldexMon is an excellent software that is powerful and flexible. It provides users with a convenient way to get real-time monitoring of their Muldex-connected systems. The installation process is simple while the software's keystroke shortcuts make it user-friendly.
