Glances in one click.

Glances is a system monitor you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.

What is Glances?

Glances is a cross-platform system monitoring tool written in Python that displays CPU, memory, disk, network, and process information. It operates in terminal, web browser, and REST API server modes.

Run Glances in Even

Even Stacks launches Glances as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Glances in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 61208, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://glances.localhost.

Drive Glances with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Glances directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can open its dashboards in the browser pane, read the metrics, and set up alerts. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Glances and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Open http://localhost:61208 for a live system stats dashboard. A REST API is also available at /api/3/cpu, /api/3/mem, and similar paths for programmatic polling. Metrics are real-time only with no persistent storage.
