Is it on yum for centos? I was playing with htop but it's not really any better than top.
Shameless plug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFKRsLj_Jhg
i.e.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:arnaud-hartmann/glances-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install glances"ERROR: Certificate verification error for github.com: unable to get local issuer certificate"
If you like this, you might also like htop, which is similar but markedly faster at starting up.
Of course, nothing beats tools like Munin. I even put business metrics there.
The app looks really nice visually, a few points though: except Exception: pass is generally considered to be a code smell. The problem being that when you're catching all exception information and throwing it away you will never know what went wrong and where. If you're doing a try/except Exception nested inside another except Exception then I would humbly suggest that you really need to think about refactoring and…
Looks very nice. I'm a very happy user of iStat Menus for similar monitoring on OS X. One thing that iStat menus lacks, and I was hoping Glances had (but appears not to) is a "top" like viewer for what is using bandwidth. Both applications only give the overall bandwidth usage. I'll see my bandwidth shoot up hundreds of Kbps out of nowhere and quickly try to determine what's using it through combinations of looking a…
Have you tried iftop?
There used to be this small, simple tool called "ntop" which did exactly that - top, but for active network connections.
Then the authors decided to go apeshit and add everything and the kitchen sink to it ... a GUI, an http server, all kinds of crazy features as they attempted to slot it as some kind of end-all-be-all enterprise monitoring software.
I had some hacked up source tarballs that continued to allow me to run the old, circa 2002 ntop on systems as old as FreeBSD 6.x, but it no longer compiles under 8.x.
tl;dr: ntop used to exist but the devs had dollar signs in their eyes and mutated it beyond all recognition.

You could create a nice desktop widget out of this by piping it to Conky.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Try atop. There's an overview at https://lwn.net/Articles/387202/ It's available through the EPEL yum repository http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/atop....
Not in its documentation, but atop requires root. If you're on a VM somewhere, you might be happier with htop or glances.
I'm not sure what being on a VM has to do with anything.
It would be nice if there was a way (e.g. a command-line argument or atoprc setting) to disable the ability to kill processes from within atop; then it would be safer for an admin to make it executable as root by regular users.
