SMON

This article deals with the concept in computing; for the epidemic in Japan, see Subacute myelo-optic neuropathy.

In computer networking, SMON is a set of MIB extensions for RMON that allow the monitoring of switching equipment from a single management workstation in far greater detail than offered by RMON. SMON is described by RFC 2613^[1].

It is also Oracle System MONitor. SMON is an Oracle background process created when you start a database instance. The SMON process performs instance recovery, cleans up after dirty shutdowns and coalesces adjacent free extents into larger free extents.^[2]
