The glances sensor platform is consuming the system information provided by the [Glances](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances) API. This enables one to track remote host and display their stats in Home Assistant.

This sensors needs a running isntance of glances on the host:

glances -w
Glances web server started on http://0.0.0.0:61208/

To enable the glances sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

  platform: glances
  name: Glances sensor
  host: IP_ADDRESS
  port: 61208
  resources:
    - 'disk_use_percent'
    - 'disk_use'
    - 'disk_free'
    - 'memory_use_percent'
    - 'memory_use'
    - 'memory_free'
    - 'swap_use_percent'
    - 'swap_use'
    - 'swap_free'
    - 'processor_load'
    - 'process_running'
    - 'process_total'
    - 'process_thread'
    - 'process_sleeping'
