Monitor DRBD resources realtime

drbdmon - Monitor DRBD resources realtime

## SYNOPSIS

The **drbdmon** utility is used for monitoring volumes and connections realtime, as defined in DRBD resource files. See [**drbd.conf**(5)](/drbd.conf/5.md) for more information.

## OPTIONS

  Do not display the drbdmon header line

- **--no-hotkeys**
