Glances is a free (LGPL) cross-platform curses-based system monitoring tool
which aims to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space, ideally
to fit in a classical 80x24 terminal, or larger for additional information: in
fact it can adapt dynamically the displayed information depending on the
terminal size.

This tool can also work in client/server mode. Remote monitoring can be
done via terminal or web interface.

Glances is written in Python and uses the psutil library to fetch statistical
values from key elements, like CPU, load average, memory, network, disks,
file systems, processes, etc.

OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES

Available on SBo: hddtemp (HHD temperature monitoring support), py3sensors
(HW monitoring support), pysnmp (SNMP support), netifaces (auto discoverer
mode), statsd (StatsD export  module), matplotlib (generation of graphs from
history data) and python3.

Not available on SBo: bottle (Web server mode), batinfo (battery monitoring
support), pymdstat (RAID support), zeroconf (auto discoverer mode), influxdb
(InfluxDB export module), pystache (action script feature), docker-py (Docker
monitoring support).

NOTES

1) When launching Glances in a terminal with a bright background, the
option '--theme-white' is recommended.

2) For the optional auto discoverer mode, both zeroconf and netifaces
are needed.
