In this contribution, a review of the beam instrumentation status in the LHC 2016 Run is presented. The treated devices are the beam loss monitors based on diamond detectors, the beam position monitors, the wire-scanners, the beam gas vertex detector and the synchrotron radiation monitors. The new features implemented and the issues encountered during 2016’s operation will be highlighted for each instrument. Additionally, the interventions and improvements planned for the coming winter shutdown will be discussed.
