Sumario:During LS1, the various instruments for beam profile measurement at the LHC were upgraded to cope with the beam energy increase. In this contribution, a review of the status of the synchrotron radiation monitors, the beam gas ionization monitors, the beam gas vertex detector and the wirescanners will be presented alongside the assessment of the obtained performance. The new features implemented and the issues encountered during 2015's operation will be highlighted. Additionally, the interventions and improvements planned for the coming winter shutdown will be discussed.
