Glances not working

Configuration
1

I’ve installed glances, and can correctly see it via http://192.168.1.53:61208

My config looks like this:

sensor:
  - platform: glances
    name: docker4
    host: 192.168.1.53
    resources:
      - 'disk_use_percent'
      - 'disk_use'
      - 'disk_free'
      - 'memory_use_percent'
      - ... SNIP

When I restart HASS I don’t get any errors but none of the glance servers get added either.

My entire config can be seen here if it helps: https://github.com/rossdargan/hass-config/blob/master/configuration.yaml#L79

Thanks :slight_smile:

Is your used version of glances greater than 2.3?

3

yeah, I just installed it.

4

And what release are you using?

5

2.9.1 (sorry took a while to figure out how to find the version!)

6

Works fine for me on dev with Glances v2.5.1 with psutil v4.3.0.

7

Does my config look correct? It’s odd as I’m not seeing any errors in the log.

8

Can you try to retrieve a value with the command line, please?

$ curl -X GET http://192.168.1.53:61208/api/2/mem/free

The glances sensor is basically just doing this. But as the access to the website works your server side seems to work.

9

hmm. That just doesn’t do anything - it gives me that ability to type stuff in and press enter but I never get a response. In the end I have to ctrl-c out.

Hmm!

That is kind of weird as I just performed the same test and got a response:

pi@raspi1:~$ curl -X GET http://192.168.1.181:61208/api/2/mem/free
{"free": 574656512}pi@raspi1:~$

Glances 2.6.2, HA 0.45.0

The only difference between my config in HA and yours is that I specified the port.

-  platform: glances
   name: RP1
   host: 192.168.1.181
   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'

But you should get a response from the command line @fabaff gave like I did. You may want to check again to make sure it is running, maybe it went down since the last test in your browser.

11

Just to check, I updated both psutil and glances to the latest versions, restarted the service and checked again and I am still working.

12

So a reboot started the api working, but it still isn’t working in hass.

The curl command returns

{"free": 3280195584}

I’ve reduced my config to this:

sensor:
  - platform: glances
    name: docker4
    host: 192.168.1.53
    port: 61208
    resources:
      - 'memory_free'

but I still don’t see glances in states.

13

Are you sure you’re looking in the right place? Should be under sensor.docker4.ram_free.

14

Bingo. Also doh. lol.

Yeah, weird that it’s not the same naming convention. I can see how that would throw you off.

I am having inssues installing glances in Hassio for some reason? I want to remotely monitor a Desktop PC on my network.
Can anyone point a a noob in the right direction? I was tryingto follow the sisntall steps here, but I am not sure if i am doing something right. I can not install it on my PI.

Not sure what is going on here - can start with glances -w and
use the web interface on http://0.0.0.0:61208/
but when I try "http://IP:61208/api/2 or 3 I get file does not exist.

curl -X GET http://192.168.1.2:61208/api/2/mem/ confirms this also

Ubuntu 19.04, running HA in VE

Sorted- using version 3 requires a version entry in the config.yaml… defaults to 2 otherwise.

You can also use the following options (however, some might not be applicable): alert, amps, batpercent, cloud, core, cpu, diskio, docker, folders, fs, gpu, help, ip, irq, load, mem, memswap, network, now, percpu, ports, processcount, processlist, psutilversion, quicklook, raid, sensors, smart, system, uptime, wifi
