What is app-glances?
This Home Assistant Community Add-on packages the Glances system monitoring tool, providing a web-based dashboard that shows CPU, memory, disk, network, and process metrics. It runs with host network and PID access to monitor the underlying system. The add-on optionally exports all collected statistics to InfluxDB (versions 1, 2, or 3) for long-term retention and Grafana visualization. It integrates with Home Assistant via the Glances sensor platform, allowing users to track system stats and build automations. Configuration includes log level, process monitoring toggle, refresh interval, SSL for the web UI, and detailed InfluxDB connection settings. The add-on supports aarch64 and amd64 architectures and uses Home Assistant's ingress feature for secure access without exposing ports.
