Glances

Info

For now, I have retired glances from running as I have found I wasn't really using it - My homepage setup has changed and no longer utilises the data this provides

Glances is a cross-platform monitoring tool.

I have used the data that Glances obtains and have fed this into my Homepage dashboard where it shows animated graphing of some key metrics (CPU, RAM & Network)

I have it installed on each server that I want to obtain metrics for (currently just TiTAN & Cuthbert)
Below is the web view for TiTAN.

Dynamic File

For Glances running on Cuthbert and NCC-1702, I have a dynamic file setup so its routed through Traefik and with SSL.
