bt-monitor is a command-line tool included in the bluez-tools package that prints state changes of Bluetooth adapters and devices in real time. It shows D-Bus events such as adapter addition and removal, device discovery, connection, and disconnection in the terminal, so it is used for debugging Bluetooth behavior. It is used along with hciconfig and hcitool for Linux Bluetooth diagnostics.
