# Monitor Example This example shows how to use the `monitor` component to monitor the executing tasks. ## How to use example ### Configure the project ``` idf.py menuconfig ``` Note: the example already configures the `FREERTOS_USE_TRACE_FACILITY` and `FREERTOS_GENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS` sdkconfig to enable printing the task info. ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output 
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espp/monitor=0.21.0:example"
