Glances Version 2.x
==============================================================================
Version 2.0
===========
Glances v2.0 is not a simple upgrade of the version 1.x but a complete code refactoring.
Based on a plugins system, it aims at providing an easy way to add news features.
- Core defines the basics and commons functions.
- all stats are grabed through plugins (see the glances/plugins source folder).
- also toutputs methods (Curse, Web mode, CSV) are manage as plugins.
The Curse inteface is almost the same than the version 1.7. Somes improvements have been made:
- space optimisation for the CPU, LOAD and MEM stats (justified alignment)
- CPU:
. CPU stats are displayed as soons as Glances is started
. steal CPU alerts are no more logged
- LOAD:
. 5 min LOAD alerts are no more logged
- File System:
. Display the device name (if space is available)
- Sensors:
. Sensors and HDD temperature are displayed in the same block
- Process list:
. Refactor columns: CPU%, MEM%, VIRT, RES, PID, USER, NICE, STATUS, TIME, IO, Command/name
. The running processes status is highlighted
. The process name is highlighted in the command line
Glances 2.0 brings a brand new Web Interface. You can run Glances in Web server mode and consult the stats diretly from a standard Web Browser.
The client mode can now fallback to a simple SNMP mode if Glances server is not found on the remote machine.
