Observability

Glances — a cross-platform system monitor with a live web dashboard (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, and Docker containers) and a REST API. Deployed as a stateless host-networked Nomad service. A lightweight at-a-glance view; pair with the monitoring pack for full Prometheus history.

Readme

glances

Glances — a cross-platform system monitor with a live web dashboard (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, Docker containers) and a REST API.

Stateless, host-networked Nomad service. Runs with pid_mode = host so stats reflect the whole node, and (by default) mounts the Docker socket read-only for per-container stats.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run glances --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`61208`	Web dashboard / REST API port.
`docker_socket`	`true`	Mount `/var/run/docker.sock:ro` for container stats.
`image`	`nicolargo/glances:latest-full`	Image (`-full` includes the web UI + all sensors).
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

A lightweight at-a-glance view of a single node (whichever one the alloc lands on). For multi-node history and alerting, use the monitoring pack. Glances has no built-in auth — front it with TLS/auth.
