Glances is an open source, cross-platform monitoring tool that aims to provide a significant amount of monitoring information through a curses or Web-based interface. Depending on the size of the user interface, this information can then dynamically adapt.

Glances can work in client/server mode, and is also capable of remote monitoring. All systems statistics can be exported to files or external time/value databases.

Glances gets information from your system through various libraries, and is based on an open architecture, so you can add new plugins or export modules.
