With Glance, we can monitor **CPU, Load Average, Memory, Network Interfaces, Disk I/O, Processes** and **File System** spaces utilization. + +Glances is a free tool and licensed under **GPL** to monitory **GNU/Linux** and **FreeBSD** operating systems. There are lots of interesting options available in Glances as well. One of the main features we have seen in Glances is that we can set thresholds (**careful**, **warning** and **critical**) in configuration file and informations will be shown in colors which indicates the bottleneck in the system. + +### Glances Features ### + +- CPU Informations (user related applications, system core programs and idle programs. +- Total memory Information including RAM, Swap, Free memory etc. +- The average CPU load for the past 1min, 5mins and 15 mins. +- Network Download/Upload rates of network connections. +- Total number of processes, active ones, sleeping processes etc. +- Disk I/O related (read or write) speed details +- Currently mounted devices disk usages. +- Top processes with their CPU/Memory usages, Names and location of application. +- Shows the current date and time at bottom. +- Highlights processes in Red that consumes highest system resources. + +Here is an example screen grab of Glances. + +![Glances View](http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Glances-Monitoring.jpeg) + +### Installation of Glances in Linux/Unix Systems ### + +Although it’s a very young utility, you can install “**Glances**” in **Red Hat** based systems by turning on [EPEL repository][3] and then run the following command on the terminal. + +#### On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora #### + + # yum install -y glances + +#### On Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint #### + + $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:arnaud-hartmann/glances-stable + $ sudo apt-get update + $ sudo apt-get install glances + +### Usage of Glances ### + +To start, issue the basic syntax on the terminal. + + # glances + +![Glances Preview – Ubuntu 13.10](http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Glances-Screen.jpeg) + +Press ‘**q**‘ or (‘**ESC**‘ or ‘**Ctrl&C**‘ also works) to quit from Glances terminal. Here, is the another screen grab taken from the **CentOS 6.5** system. + +![Glances Preview – CentOS 6.5](http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Glances-Screen-Centos.jpeg) + +y default, interval time is set to ’**1**‘ second. But you can define the custom interval time while running glances from the terminal. + + # glances -t 2 + +### Glances Color Codes ### + +Meaning of Glances color code: + +- GREEN: OK (everything is fine) +- BLUE: CAREFUL (need attention) +- VIOLET: WARNING (alert) +- RED: CRITICAL (critical) + +We can set thresholds in configuration file. By default thresholds set is (**careful=50, warning=7**0 and **critical=90**), we can customized as per our needs. The default configuration file is located at ‘**/etc/glances/glances.conf**’. + +### Glances Options ### + +Besides, several command line options, glances provides many more **hot keys** to find output information while glances is running. Below are the list of several hot keys. + +- a – Sort processes automatically +- c – Sort processes by CPU% +- m – Sort processes by MEM% +- p – Sort processes by name +- i – Sort processes by I/O rate +- d – Show/hide disk I/O stats ols +- f – Show/hide file system statshddtemp +- n – Show/hide network stats +- s – Show/hide sensors stats +- y – Show/hide hddtemp stats +- l – Show/hide logs +- b – Bytes or bits for network I/Oools +- w – Delete warning logs +- x – Delete warning and critical logs +- x – Delete warning and critical logs +- 1 – Global CPU or per-CPU stats +- h – Show/hide this help screen +- t – View network I/O as combination +- u – View cumulative network I/O +- q – Quit (Esc and Ctrl-C also work) + +### Use Glances on Remote Systems ### + +With the Glances, you can even monitor remote systems too. To use ‘**glances**‘ on remote systems, run the ‘**glances -s**‘ (-s enables server/client mode) command on the server. + + # glances -s + + Define the password for the Glances server + Password: + Password (confirm): + Glances server is running on 0.0.0.0:61209 + +**Note** : Once, you issue ‘**glances**‘ command, it will prompt you to define the password for the Glances server. Define the password and hit enter, you see glances running on port **61209**. + +Now, go to the remote host and execute the following command to connect to a Glances server by specifying IP address or hostname as shown below. Here ‘**172.16.27.56**‘ is my glances server IP Address. + + # glances -c -P 172.16.27.56 + +Below are few notable points that user must know while using glances in server/client mode. + + * In server mode, you can set the bind address -B ADDRESS and listening TCP port -p PORT. + * In client mode, you can set the TCP port of the server -p PORT. + * Default binding address is 0.0.0.0, but it listens on all network interfaces at port 61209. + * In server/client mode, limits are set by the server side. + * You can also define a password to access to the server -P password. + +### Conclusion ### + +**Glances** is a much resources friendly tool for most users. But if you’re a system administrator who’d like to quickly get overall “idea” about systems by just glancing at command line, then this tool will be must have tool for system administrators. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: http://www.tecmint.com/glances-an-advanced-real-time-system-monitoring-tool-for-linux/ + +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) 校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创翻译，[Linux中国](http://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[1]:http://www.tecmint.com/command-line-tools-to-monitor-linux-performance/ +[2]:http://www.tecmint.com/12-top-command-examples-in-linux/ +[3]:http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-for-rhel-centos-6-5/
