Glances Version 2.x
==============================================================================
Version 2.0.1
=============
Maintenance version.
Bugs corrected:
* Error when displaying numeric process user names (#380)
* Display users without username correctly (#379)
* Bug when parsing configuration file (#378)
* The sda2 partition is not seen by glances (#376)
* Client crash if server is ended during XML request (#375)
* Error with the Sensors module on Debian/Ubuntu (#373)
* Windows don't view all processes (#319)
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 grabbed through plugins (see the glances/plugins source folder).
- also outputs methods (Curse, Web mode, CSV) are managed as plugins.
The Curse interface is almost the same than the version 1.7. Some improvements have been made:
- space optimisation for the CPU, LOAD and MEM stats (justified alignment)
- CPU:
. CPU stats are displayed as soon 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 directly 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.
