Summary
=======
**Glances** is a cross-platform monitoring tool which aims to present a
large amount of monitoring information through a curses or Web
based interface. The information dynamically adapts depending on the
size of the user interface.
.. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicolargo/glances/develop/docs/_static/glances-summary.png
It can also work in client/server mode. Remote monitoring could be done
via terminal, Web interface or API (XML-RPC and RESTful). Stats can also
be exported to files or external time/value databases.

Installation
============
There are several methods to test/install Glances on your system. Choose your weapon!
PyPI: The standard way
----------------------
Glances is on ``PyPI``. By using PyPI, you will be using the latest
stable version.
To install Glances, simply use ``pip``:
.. code-block:: console
pip install --user glances
*Note*: Python headers are required to install `psutil`_, a Glances
dependencie. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu you need to install first
the *python-dev* package (*python-devel* on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL).
For Windows, just install psutil from the binary installation file.
*Note 2 (for the Wifi plugin)*: If you want to use the Wifi plugin, you need
to install the *wireless-tools* package on your system.
You can also install the following libraries in order to use optional
features (like the Web interface, exports modules...):
.. code-block:: console
pip install --user 'glances[action,browser,cloud,cpuinfo,docker,export,folders,gpu,graph,ip,raid,snmp,web,wifi]'
To upgrade Glances to the latest version:
.. code-block:: console
pip install --user --upgrade glances
pip install --user --upgrade glances[...]
If you need to install Glances in a specific user location, use:
.. code-block:: console
export PYTHONUSERBASE=~/mylocalpath
pip install --user glances
If you are administrator and want to install Glances for all users:
.. code-block:: console
sudo pip install glances
The current develop branch is also published to the test.pypi.org package index.
If you want to test the develop version, enter:
.. code-block:: console
pip install --user -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ Glances
Glances Auto Install script: the easy way
-----------------------------------------
To install both dependencies and the latest Glances production ready version
(aka *master* branch), just enter the following command line:
.. code-block:: console
curl -L https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash
or
.. code-block:: console
wget -O- https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash
*Note*: This is only supported on some GNU/Linux distributions and Mac OS X.
If you want to support other distributions, please contribute to `glancesautoinstall`_.
Docker: the fun way
-------------------
Glances containers are availables. You can use it to monitor your
server and all your other containers!
Get the Glances container:
.. code-block:: console
docker pull nicolargo/glances:<version>
Available versions on the Docker Hub repository:
- *nicolargo/glances:latest* for a basic Debian Glances image version with minimal dependencies
- *nicolargo/glances:alpine-latest* for a basic Alpine Glances image version with minimal dependencies
- *nicolargo/glances:latest-full* for a full Debian Glances image version with all dependencies
- *nicolargo/glances:alpine-latest-full* for a full Alpine Glances image version with all dependencies
You can also specify a version by replacing latest by 3.2.3 (for example).
Run last version of Glances container in *console mode*:
.. code-block:: console
docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --pid host --network host -it nicolargo/glances:latest-full
Additionally, if you want to use your own glances.conf file, you can
create your own Dockerfile:
.. code-block:: console
FROM nicolargo/glances:latest
COPY glances.conf /glances/conf/glances.conf
CMD python -m glances -C /glances/conf/glances.conf $GLANCES_OPT
Alternatively, you can specify something along the same lines with
docker run options:
.. code-block:: console
docker run -v `pwd`/glances.conf:/glances/conf/glances.conf -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --pid host -it nicolargo/glances:latest-full
Where \`pwd\`/glances.conf is a local directory containing your glances.conf file.
Run the container in *Web server mode* (notice the `GLANCES_OPT` environment
variable setting parameters for the glances startup command):
.. code-block:: console
docker run -d --restart="always" -p 61208-61209:61208-61209 -e GLANCES_OPT="-w" -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --pid host nicolargo/glances:latest-full
GNU/Linux

able to install it using your favorite package manager. Be aware that
when you use this method the operating system `package`_ for `Glances`
may not be the latest version.

Usage
=====
For the standalone mode, just run:

You can also detect and display all Glances servers available on your
network or defined in the configuration file:
.. code-block:: console
$ glances --browser
You can also display raw stats on stdout:
.. code-block:: console
$ glances --stdout cpu.user,mem.used,load
cpu.user: 30.7
mem.used: 3278204928
load: {'cpucore': 4, 'min1': 0.21, 'min5': 0.4, 'min15': 0.27}
cpu.user: 3.4
mem.used: 3275251712
load: {'cpucore': 4, 'min1': 0.19, 'min5': 0.39, 'min15': 0.27}
...
or in a CSV format thanks to the stdout-csv option:
.. code-block:: console
$ glances --stdout-csv now,cpu.user,mem.used,load
now,cpu.user,mem.used,load.cpucore,load.min1,load.min5,load.min15
