Bmon

Bmon 4.0.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Free Maintenance Support by bCloud

Bmon (Bandwidth Monitor) 4.0.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is available on the AWS Cloud Marketplace as a repackaged open-source offering with optional support from bCloud (support may include extra charges depending on the listing). Bmon is a lightweight command-line network bandwidth monitoring tool that helps you monitor real-time traffic on your server. It shows live inbound and outbound bandwidth per network interface, so you can quickly spot heavy traffic usage, unusual spikes, or performance bottlenecks.

This AWS Marketplace AMI makes deployment simple. You can launch Bmon on Amazon EC2 without manual installation or setup.

Highlights of Bmon

• Real-time bandwidth monitoring (live traffic stats)
• Supports multiple interfaces (eth0, ens5, lo, etc.)
• Graph-style terminal view for easy reading
• Works well for quick troubleshooting and network checks

This makes it useful for scripting and automation pipelines.
