Local Polling | 0.7.3 |
The glances integration allows you to monitor the system information provided by the Glances API. This enables one to track remote host and display their stats in Home Assistant.
Setup
These sensors needs a running instance of glances on the host. The minimal supported version of glances is 2.3.
To start a Glances RESTful API server on its default port 61208 then test you can use the following command:
$ sudo glances -w
Glances web server started on http://0.0.0.0:61208/
Check if you are able to access the API located at http://IP_ADRRESS:61208/api/3. Don't use -s as this will start the XMLRPC server on port 61209. Home Assistant only supports the REST API of GLANCES.
The details about your memory usage is provided as a JSON response. If so, you are good to proceed.
$ curl -X GET http://IP_ADDRESS:61208/api/3/mem/free
{"free": 203943936}
If this doesn't work, try changing the 3 to 2, if you don't have the latest version of Glances installed.
For details about auto-starting glances, please refer to Start Glances through Systemd.
Configuration
Set up the integration through Configuration -> Integrations -> Glances. To import the configuration from configuration.yaml remove any previously configured sensors with platform type glances and add the following lines:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
glances:
- host: IP_ADDRESS
{% configuration %}
host:
description: IP address of the host where Glances is running.
required: false
type: string
default: localhost
port:
description: The port where Glances is listening.
required: false
type: integer
default: 61208
name:
description: The prefix for the sensors.
required: false
type: string
default: Glances
username:
description: Your username for the HTTP connection to Glances.
required: false
type: string
password:
description: Your password for the HTTP connection to Glances.
required: false
type: string
ssl:
description: "If true, use SSL/TLS to connect to the Glances system."
required: false
type: boolean
default: false
verify_ssl:
description: Verify the certification of the system.
required: false
type: boolean
default: true
version:
description: "The version of the Glances API. Supported version: 2 and 3."
required: false
type: integer
default: 3
{% endconfiguration %}
Integration Entities
Glances integration will add the following sensors:
- disk_use_percent: The used disk space in percent.
- disk_use: The used disk space.
- disk_free: The free disk space.
- memory_use_percent: The used memory in percent.
- memory_use: The used memory.
- memory_free: The free memory.
- swap_use_percent: The used swap space in percent.
- swap_use: The used swap space.
- swap_free: The free swap space.
- processor_load: The load.
- process_running: The number of running processes.
- process_total: The total number of processes.
- process_thread: The number of threads.
- process_sleeping: The number of sleeping processes.
- cpu_use_percent: The used CPU in percent.
- cpu_temp: The CPU temperature (may not be available on all platforms).
- docker_active: The count of active Docker containers.
- docker_cpu_use: The total CPU usage in percent of Docker containers.
- docker_memory_use: The total memory used by Docker containers.
Not all platforms are able to provide all metrics. For instance cpu_temp is requires installing and configuring lmsensors in Ubuntu, and may not be available at all in other platforms.
