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
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Glances can centralize available Glances servers using the ``--browser``
|
|
option. The server list can be statically defined via the configuration
|
|
file (section ``[serverlist]``).
|
|
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|
If you ask it, the SHA password will be stored in ``username.pwd`` file.
|
|
|
|
Glances is ``IPv6`` compatible. Just use the ``-B ::`` option to bind to
|
|
all IPv6 addresses.
|
|
|
|
Autodiscover
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Glances can also detect and display all Glances servers available on
|
|
your network via the ``zeroconf`` protocol (not available on Windows):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
client$ glances --browser
|
|
|
|
Use ``--disable-autodiscover`` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
