Can't start appmon in erlang R17 RC1

Question

I have Erlang/OTP 17 [RELEASE CANDIDATE 1] installed and i can't start appmon. I have tried:

appmon:start().
** exception error: undefined function appmon:start/0

I also tried:

l(appmon).

And I get the following error:

{error,nofile}

How can I make appmon work ?

Answer 1

appmon looks to have been removed, in favour of the new observer application. See the note here. There seems to be precious little online documentation on why, but presumably the docs included in your erlang installation would at least help you find how to use it.
