Old nice Glances board from nicolargo (Glances | Grafana Labs) have not been working for me for awhile. I was strugling to view my Glances grafana board everytime I opened it, so I decided to check out what was broken. A couple of queries was outdated so I corrected them. I tried to upload dashboard to the Grafana website, but there were some weird errors and did not manage to do it.
So next best thing is to upload it here if someone else is also strugling with that dashboard. Especially as HA docs points to nicolargo’s a bit newer dashboard in github. That dashboard did not work for me too.
HI, can you help me with “where” the pastebin code must be placed to get the dashboard? Is it a lovelace code or grafana code or other? Thanks in advance.
You have now only one datasource in your Grafana installation which is called “InfluxDB”. You need to make same kind of new datasource. If you have your Glances data flowing into InfluxDB, you only need to add new datasource into Grafana which points into InfluxDB database where Glances data is, maybe like called “Glances”.
@sender, and now as you have that glances influxdb datasource set up in the Grafana, if you import the dashboard again, can you select the Glances datasource from the list and it still gives those red errors “! database name required”?
Hey nikop. Thank you very much for your brilliant work done. Surprisingly for me, when I followed Frenck’s YouTube video and then downloaded Nicolargo’s dashboard from Grafana.com (updated two months ago!) it didn’t work for me. I was frustrated. Luckily I found this topic. Your dashboard is working for me like a charm, so I really appreciate your effort.
I just did set this up and it was working great directly after I imported your dashboard, @nikop, thanks a lot!
However whenever I now try to open the new dashboard in Grafana it starts to render (I can see the number of CPU cores in the top left) but then the page instantly crashes in Google Chrome with error 5.
Closed the browser, emptied the cache but no change.
Now after a few minutes it suddenly displays again, really bizarre…
Let’s see if it stays stable now
