Glances is an open‑source, cross‑platform system monitoring tool written in Python. It provides a curses‑based interface, a web UI, and a RESTful JSON API (plus XML‑RPC) that can be used to retrieve real‑time metrics such as CPU, memory, load, disk I/O, network, sensors, containers and more. The tool runs on Linux, BSD, macOS and Windows, and can export data to various back‑ends like InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, and Grafana. It is actively maintained by the community and documented at Read the Docs.
