SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive, real-time overview of your system's performance, including CPU, memory, disk, network, and processes, directly in your terminal or via a web interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System Monitoring: View key system metrics in a single, interactive view.
  • Remote Access: Monitor remote servers via a built-in web server or client/server mode.
  • Container Insights: Track Docker and Podman container resource usage.
  • Use Case: When troubleshooting a slow server, you can quickly launch glances to identify if high CPU, memory, or disk I/O is the bottleneck.

Quick Start

Launch glances to view your system's real-time performance metrics.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor real-time system performance metrics from a Linux terminal?▼

Real-time system monitoring displays CPU, memory, disk, network, and process metrics in an interactive terminal UI. This provides a single, comprehensive view to quickly identify performance bottlenecks on Linux servers.

Can I monitor remote servers via a web browser or client/server mode?▼

Remote server monitoring is supported through a built-in web server mode for browser-based access and a client/server mode. This allows you to observe remote host performance metrics without needing direct terminal access.

Does system monitoring work with Docker and Podman containers?▼

System monitoring integrates directly with Docker and Podman to track container resource usage. This provides insights into CPU, memory, and network consumption at the container level alongside host metrics.

How do I export system metrics to InfluxDB or CSV for historical analysis?▼

System metrics can be exported directly to InfluxDB or CSV format for historical analysis. This enables long-term metric retention and downstream querying of CPU, memory, disk, and network data.

What is the best way to troubleshoot a slow server using system monitoring?▼

Troubleshooting a slow server requires real-time system monitoring to pinpoint bottlenecks. By viewing CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network metrics together, you can quickly identify the overloaded resource causing server latency.
