Quickstart
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
This page gives a good introduction in how to get started with Glances.
|
|
Glances offers 3 modes:
|
|
|
|
- Standalone
|
|
- Client/Server
|
|
- Web server
|
|
|
|
Standalone Mode
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to monitor your local machine, simply run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glances
|
|
|
|
Client/Server Mode
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to remotely monitor a machine, called ``server``, from
|
|
another one, called ``client``, just run on the server:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
server$ glances -s
|
|
|
|
and on the client:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
client$ glances -c @server
|
|
|
|
where ``@server`` is the IP address or hostname of the server.
|
|
|
|
In server mode, you can set the bind address with ``-B ADDRESS`` and
|
|
the listening TCP port with ``-p PORT``.
|
|
|
|
In client mode, you can set the TCP port of the server with ``-p PORT``.
|
|
|
|
Default binding address is ``0.0.0.0`` (Glances will listen on all the
|
|
available network interfaces) and TCP port is ``61209``.
|
|
|
|
In client/server mode, limits are set by the server side.
|
|
|
|
You can set a password to access to the server ``--password``. By
|
|
default, the username is ``glances`` but you can change it with
|
|
``--username``. It is also possible to set the password in the
|
|
Glances configuration file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[passwords]
|
|
# Define the passwords list
|
|
# Syntax: host=password
|
|
# Where: host is the hostname
|
|
# password is the clear password
|
|
# Additionally (and optionally) a default password could be defined
|
|
localhost=mylocalhostpassword
|
|
default=mydefaultpassword
|
|
|
|
If you ask it, the SHA password will be stored in ``username.pwd`` file.
|
|
Next time your run the server/client, password will not be asked.
|
|
|
|
Central client
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. image:: _static/browser.png
|
|
|
|
Glances can centralize available Glances servers using the ``--browser``
|
|
option. The server list can be statically defined via the configuration
|
|
file (section ``[serverlist]``).
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[serverlist]
|
|
# Define the static servers list
|
|
server_1_name=xps
|
|
server_1_alias=xps
|
|
server_1_port=61209
|
|
server_2_name=win
|
|
server_2_port=61235
|
|
|
|
Glances can also detect and display all Glances servers available on
|
|
your network via the ``zeroconf`` protocol (not available on Windows):
|
|
|
|
To start the central client, use the following option:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
client$ glances --browser
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Use ``--disable-autodiscover`` to disable the auto discovery mode.
|
|
|
|
SNMP
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
As an experimental feature, if Glances server is not detected by the
|
|
client, the latter will try to grab stats using the ``SNMP`` protocol:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
client$ glances -c @snmpserver
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Stats grabbed by SNMP request are limited and OS dependent.
|
|
A SNMP server should be installed and configured...
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPv6
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Glances is ``IPv6`` compatible. Just use the ``-B ::`` option to bind to
|
|
all IPv6 addresses.
|
|
|
|
Web Server Mode
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
.. image:: _static/screenshot-web.png
|
|
|
|
If you want to remotely monitor a machine, called ``server``, from any
|
|
device with a web browser, just run the server with the ``-w`` option:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
server$ glances -w
|
|
|
|
then on the client enter the following URL in your favorite web browser:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
http://@server:61208
|
|
|
|
where ``@server`` is the IP address or hostname of the server.
|
|
|
|
To change the refresh rate of the page, just add the period in seconds
|
|
at the end of the URL. For example, to refresh the page every ``10``
|
|
seconds:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
http://@server:61208/10
|
|
|
|
The Glances web interface follows responsive web design principles.
