## Installation
|
|
|
|
Glances use a standard GNU style installer:
|
|
|
|
$ tar zxvf glances-v1.0.tar.gz
|
|
$ cd glances
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Pre-requisites:
|
|
* Python 2.6+ (not tested with Python 3)
|
|
* python-statgrab 0.5+ (did not work with python-statgrab 0.5)
|
|
|
|
Notes: The Debian Squeeze repos only include the python-statgrab 0.4.
|
|
You had to install the version 0.5 using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install libstatgrab-dev
|
|
$ wget http://ftp.uk.i-scream.org/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/pystatgrab/pystatgrab-0.5.tar.gz
|
|
$ tar zxvf pystatgrab-0.5.tar.gz
|
|
$ cd pystatgrab-0.5/
|
|
$ ./setup.py build
|
|
$ sudo ./setup.py install
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Easy:
|
|
|
|
$ glances.py
|
|
|
|
## User guide
|
|
|
|
By default, stats are refrsh every second, to change this setting, you can
|
|
use the -t option. For exemple to set the refrech rate to 5 seconds:
|
|
|
|
$ glances.py -t 5
|
|
|
|
Importants stats are colored:
|
|
GREEN: stat counter is < 50%
|
|
BLUE: stat counter is > 50% and < 70%
|
|
MAGENTA: stat counter is > 70% and < 90%
|
|
RED: stat counter is > 90%
|
|
|
|
When Glances is running, you can press:
|
|
|
|
'a' to set the automatic mode. The process list is sorted automatically
|
|
If CPU > 70%, sort by process CPU consomption
|
|
If MEM > 70%, sort by process size
|
|
'c' the processes list is sorted by CPU consomption
|
|
'm' the processes list is sorted by process size
|
|
'q' Exit
|
|
|
|
## Limitation
|
|
|
|
The current version of the python-statgrab API can not retrieve the file
|
|
system statistics.
