Glances

A cross-platform system monitoring tool that gives you a real-time overview of your server through a clean web interface.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — Glances loads immediately, showing live system metrics
2. Monitor CPU & Memory — view real-time usage, load averages, and per-core stats
3. Track Disk & Network — see I/O rates, mount points, and network interface throughput
4. Inspect Processes — sort running processes by CPU, memory, or I/O usage
5. Use the API — access metrics programmatically via the built-in REST API:

• https://your-domain/api/4/quicklook — system overview (CPU, memory at a glance)
• https://your-domain/api/4/cpu — detailed CPU stats
• https://your-domain/api/4/mem — memory usage
• https://your-domain/api/4/pluginslist — list all available API endpoints
