#glances # A very good performance monitoring tool

Because Nagios is too complex, the previous Zabbix has emerged as a condition of knowledge. I just want to find a tool that can collect data for analysis in real time, glances is undoubtedly the best choice.

In addition, when I was looking for tools, I found a relatively good simple monitoring tool--linux dashboard. On GitHub, you can go to research.

Glances installation is very simple, not only support the display of data directly on the terminal, but also support the display on the web, in addition to monitoring the load of the machine, but also very easy to monitor the load of the specified server (provided that the glances is installed and started in server mode glances). It even provides a programming interface for rest and XML-RPC, which allows data to be saved in csv,html or influxdb and STATSD

In general, this tool is very lightweight and very useful and will be integrated into my personal project.
