A Home Assistant add-on providing Glances, a cross-platform system monitoring tool with a web interface.
Glances is a Home Assistant Community Add-on that packages the Glances system monitoring tool. It provides real-time monitoring of system resources like CPU, memory, disk, and network through a web interface, and can export data to InfluxDB for historical analysis. It integrates directly into Home Assistant, allowing users to monitor their server's performance from their smart home dashboard.
Home Assistant users and self-hosters who want to monitor their Home Assistant server or other system resources directly from their Home Assistant interface.
It offers a lightweight, integrated monitoring solution specifically for the Home Assistant ecosystem, with a clean web interface and the ability to export data to time-series databases for advanced analysis.
Glances - Home Assistant Community Apps
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Presents comprehensive system information like CPU, memory, and network usage in a minimal, web-based UI that maximizes data density, aligning with the project's philosophy of clarity and efficiency.
Managed directly through the Home Assistant add-on store, it integrates into the dashboard for easy monitoring without external tools, as highlighted in the README's focus on community add-ons.
Exports all statistics to InfluxDB, allowing users to track performance trends over time and correlate with other data, which is a key feature emphasized in the documentation.
Supports multiple architectures including armv7, aarch64, and amd64, making it suitable for various Home Assistant installations on different hardware, as shown by the badges in the README.
Cannot be used independently of Home Assistant, restricting its deployment to environments where Home Assistant is already installed and maintained, limiting its standalone utility.
Only supports InfluxDB for data export out of the box, lacking native support for other common time-series databases like Prometheus, which might require additional setup or workarounds.
The add-on focuses on monitoring and display, with no mentioned features in the README for setting up alerts or notifications based on system thresholds, relying on external tools for proactive management.
