NAME

       glances - A cross-platform curses-based monitoring tool

SYNOPSIS

       glances [-bdehmnrsvyz1] [-B bind] [-c server] [-C conffile] [-f file] [-o output] [-p port] [-P password]
       [-t refresh]

DESCRIPTION

       Glances  is  a free (LGPL) cross-platform curses-based monitoring tool which aims to present a maximum of
       information in a minimum of space, ideally to fit in  a  classical  80x24  terminal  or  higher  to  have
       additionnal information.

       Glances  can adapt dynamically the displayed information depending on the terminal size. It can also work
       in a client/server mode for remote monitoring.

       This tool is written in Python and uses the psutil library to  fetch  the  statistical  values  from  key
       elements, like CPU, load average, memory, network, disks, file systems, processes, etc.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

       The command-line options are the following:

       -b     Display network rate in Byte per second (default: bit per second)

       -B @IP|HOST
              Bind server to the given IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname

       -c @IP|HOST
              Connect to a Glances server by IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname

       -C FILE
              Path to the configuration file

       -d     Disable disk I/O module

       -e     Enable sensors module (requires pysensors, Linux-only)

       -f FILE
              Set the HTML output folder or CSV file

       -h     Display the help and exit

       -m     Disable mount module

       -n     Disable network module

       -o OUTPUT
              Define additional output (available: HTML or CSV)

       -p PORT
              Define the client/server TCP port (default: 61209)

       -P PASSWORD
              Define a client/server password

       --password
              Define a client/server password from the prompt

       -r     Disable process list (for low CPU consumption)

       -s     Run Glances in server mode

       -t SECONDS
              Set refresh time in seconds (default: 3 sec)

       -v     Display the version and exit

       -y     Enable hddtemp module (requires hddtemp)

       -z     Do not use the bold color attribute

       -1     Start Glances in per-CPU mode

INTERACTIVE COMMANDS

       You can use the following keys while in Glances:

       a      Sort process list automatically

       b      Switch between bit/s or Byte/s for network I/O

       c      Sort processes by CPU usage

       d      Show/hide disk I/O stats

       f      Show/hide file system stats

       h      Show/hide the help screen

       i      Sort processes by I/O rate

       l      Show/hide log messages

       m      Sort processes by MEM usage

       n      Show/hide network stats

       p      Sort processes by name

       q      Quit

       s      Show/hide sensors stats (only available with -e flag)

       t      View network I/O as combination

       u      View cumulative network I/O

       w      Delete finished warning log messages

       x      Delete finished warning and critical log messages

       y      Show/hide hddtemp stats (only available with -y flag)

       1      Switch between global CPU and per-CPU stats

EXAMPLES

       Refresh information every 5 seconds:
              glances -t 5
