Glances is a free (LGPL) cross-platform curses-based monitoring tool,
|
|
|
|
|
which aims to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space
|
|
|
|
|
and ideally fits in a classical 80x24 terminal, or larger for additional
|
|
|
|
|
information.

Glances can adapt dynamically the displayed information depending on
|
|
|
|
|
the terminal size. It can also work in a client/server mode for remote

monitoring.

This tool is written in Python and uses the psutil library to fetch the

|
|
|
statistical values from key elements, like CPU, load average, memory,

network, disks, file systems, processes, etc.

Optional dependencies are hddtemp (for HHD temperature monitoring support)
|
|
|
|
|
and python3. Others not available on SBo are bottle (for Web server mode),
|
|
|
|
|
py3sensors (for HW monitoring support) and batinfo (for battery monitoring
|
|
|
|
|
support).

NOTE: when launching Glances in a terminal with a bright background, the
|
|
|
|
|
option '--theme-white' is recommended.
