This offering includes free maintenance support from kCloud, with optional paid support services for organizations requiring advanced system monitoring setup, performance tuning, infrastructure observability guidance, and operational support.
Glances is a real-time system monitoring solution designed to provide a comprehensive overview of system performance in a single terminal-based dashboard. It is built using Python and the psutil library, enabling it to efficiently collect and display system metrics with minimal resource overhead. Glances is widely used by system administrators, DevOps engineers, and cloud operators for monitoring servers, containers, and virtual machines.
Glances provides a unified view of critical system resources including CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, filesystem usage, network activity, running processes, and system load. It also supports optional monitoring of sensors such as temperature, fan speed, and battery status depending on hardware availability.
What Glances Does
Glances continuously collects system performance data and presents it in a dynamic, real-time dashboard that adapts to terminal size. It allows users to quickly identify performance bottlenecks, resource exhaustion, and abnormal system behavior without requiring multiple monitoring tools.
It can operate in standalone mode for local monitoring or in client-server mode for remote infrastructure visibility. Additionally, Glances supports a web interface and API-based integrations for modern observability stacks.
