About:
Glances is a cross-platform system monitoring tool written in Python. It provides a comprehensive, real-time overview of system resources including CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network activity. Its key value is presenting this data in a highly customizable and visually intuitive dashboard that can be accessed via a web UI or terminal.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, load, and network
  • Web server mode for remote monitoring via browser
  • Auto-detection of running processes and alerts
  • Support for Docker and Cloud providers monitoring
Use Cases:
  • Real-time server performance monitoring
  • Troubleshooting system bottlenecks and resource issues

  • htop – htop is a simpler, terminal-only process viewer, while Glances offers more metrics and a web UI.
  • netdata – netdata is a more resource-intensive, web-first monitoring system with long-term storage.
