Glances sensors unavailable

[Marsman]

The Glances integrations can have some improvements. First of all I am not able to hide the sensors that I do not need. But the biggest problem is that these sensors are unavailable quite a lot. I have 3 servers with glances installed, but sensors turn on and off in HA. Probably it has to do with timeouts, which cannot be configured. But also these sensors could retain the previous value for a while when a timeout on next request fails.

I have exactly the same problem… I’m thinking of giving up on this integration.

Did anyone found a solution for that. Everytime I restart home assistant the sensors are unavailable

I have glances running on 6 machines - 2 Ubuntu (1 was Windows); 1 hassos; 3 raspbian. When one was Windows, that was unreliable, whereas all others seem pretty reliable. They all take a while (5 or 10 mins?) to pick up values on restart of HA. I graph the last 3 days of CPU %, RAM %, Temp, and Disk % with no obvious missing data (ie. flatlining).

I have glances as an addon in home assistant. it was working without any problem in the beginning (when the configuration was on yaml file), now on every restart I have to remove and add the integration to make it work. Glances works without any problem, it seems that the integration loses the connection.

Damn - I have another Windows PC and Glances is very unreliable - unavailable regularly. I replaced it with some Python code to get the values and publish to MQTT and that works much better.

It works fine on the RPi running my HA, but times out for my desktop running ubuntu. It is pretty unusable there.

Hi Michael,
would you please mind sharing how you got glances to send MQTT?

[michaelblight (Michael)]

I’m using glances for linux-based machines, but reliability for Windows-based was not great. Initially I wrote some Python code to get the same info (ie. not using glances), and sent it to HA using MQTT. However, now I have switch to Open Hardware Monitor on Windows machines and have not had problems since.
