I seem to be struggling with Glances a little. Im looking to be super selective about what I would like Glances to send to (for example influx, but would rather it hit a api endpoint on another server).
I would like only for it to push out:
- CPU
- Load (x,x,x)
- Ram
- Perhaps something on mysql or postgres
- Diskspace
Is that kinda thing even possible?
Why...
I want to create a dashboard of servers (we have well over 40) which are just simple panels, one for each - which can just show basic info, and alert us to any problem. Grafana is nice, but way too in depth. If we see a problem we will login to the server/droplet and investigate from there.
I know its annoying to get long messages, but if anyone can point me in the direction, ill go from there!
I want to use it to monitor some virtual machines, however I am not sure it works except the standalone. I tried to do the client/server mode operation.
I ran glances -s on a virtual machine I want to use as server and then glances -c @serverip on client machines. After running the command on server, it returns a messages saying Glances XML-RPC server is running on 0.0.0.0:61209Announce the Glances server on the LAN (using x.x.x.x ip address)
After running the command on the client, it doesn't say anything.
How do I know it is working. How do I get stats of results?

glance -w on all these machines? Then to get the result, can I just call API end points to get them? Also, how can I ensure glances are running say like 24/7 on the machines. If you use influx, does it overwrite results or it just stores them at the different intervals?
you can start glances via systemd

hello again,
I have no experience with influx cloud
I installed infludb and grafana on a single host influxdb_server
glances will transport the data there

I used this grafana dashboard to display the grafana data https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/2387
