API (Restfull/JSON) documentation

The Glances Restfull/API server could be ran using the following command line:

# glances -w --disable-webui

Note: Change request URL api/3 by api/2 if you use Glances 2.x.

GET API status

This entry point should be used to check the API status. It will return nothing but a 200 return code if everythin is OK.

Get the Rest API status:

# curl -I http://localhost:61208/api/3/status
"HTTP/1.0 200 OK"

Fields descriptions:

  • total: Sum of all CPU percentages (except idle) (unit is percent)

  • system: percent time spent in kernel space. System CPU time is the time spent running code in the Operating System kernel (unit is percent)

  • dpc: (Windows): time spent servicing deferred procedure calls (DPCs) (unit is percent)

Fields descriptions:

  • total: Total physical memory available (unit is bytes)

  • available: The actual amount of available memory that can be given instantly to processes that request more memory in bytes; this is calculated by summing different memory values depending on the platform (e.g. free + buffers + cached on Linux) and it is supposed to be used to monitor actual memory usage in a cross platform fashion (unit is bytes)

  • percent: The percentage usage calculated as (total - available) / total * 100 (unit is percent)

  • used: Memory used, calculated differently depending on the platform and designed for informational purposes only (unit is bytes)

  • free: Memory not being used at all (zeroed) that is readily available; note that this doesn’t reflect the actual memory available (use ‘available’ instead) (unit is bytes)

  • active: (UNIX): memory currently in use or very recently used, and so it is in RAM (unit is bytes)

  • inactive: (UNIX): memory that is marked as not used (unit is bytes)

  • buffers: (Linux, BSD): cache for things like file system metadata (unit is bytes)

  • cached: (Linux, BSD): cache for various things (unit is bytes)

  • wired: (BSD, macOS): memory that is marked to always stay in RAM. It is never moved to disk (unit is bytes)

  • shared: (BSD): memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple processes (unit is bytes)
