In [[computer networking]], '''SMON''' is a set of [[management information base|MIB]] extensions for [[RMON]] that allow the monitoring of [[network switch|switch]]ing equipment from a single management [[workstation]] in far greater detail than offered by [[RMON]]. SMON is described by [[Request for Comments|RFC]] 2613. It is also Oracle System MONitor. SMON is an Oracle background process created when you start a database instance.
