kmon

Kmon is a Linux kernel manager and activity monitor with a terminal user interface. It gives system administrators and developers a convenient view of what the kernel is doing, including loaded modules, kernel information, and logged activities, without piecing together output from several separate commands. It is written in Rust and released under the GPL-3.0 license.

The kernel is the part of the operating system that mediates between hardware and software, handling memory, processes, devices, and system calls. Kmon provides an interactive way to inspect this layer and to manage modules from the same screen, using keyboard navigation inside the terminal. Its topics highlight kernel modules, kernel information, kernel activities, and monitoring.

Because it is a command-line tool, it installs on a Linux machine and needs no server or account. It suits Linux enthusiasts, kernel and driver developers, and sysadmins who prefer terminal tools and want a quick way to inspect or troubleshoot kernel modules and messages.
