Missing a nmon Graphing trick? 1000 times this year, nmon users created performance graphs via the nmonchart Web service -> mr-nmon.com --> Take the link:  nmonchart graphing online Upload nmon file & you have dozens of graphs Works on #Linux & #AIX files #IBMChampion

I'm going to COMMON Conference, Milan, June 3-6 Doing two sessions on Presentation Zen (what I leant over 3 decades?) & njmon (nmon replacement) saving data to a Time-Series Database (InfluxDB) + live flexible graphing via Grafana. Hope to see you there! comeur.org

In my YouTube series on #IBM #PowerVS a tiny #IBMAIX VM is £2 €3 $3 per day=3 similar currencies I termed this 2 #EuroDollarPound's Google: nobody using term: Did I invent it? Let me know! Videos=youtube.com/playlist?list=… PowerVS is still a great way to access AIX at low prices.
