Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
No configuration file is mandatory to use Glances.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore a configuration file is needed to access more settings.
|
|
|
|
Location
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can put the ``glances.conf`` file in the following locations:
|
|
|
|
=========== ============================================================
|
|
``Linux`` ~/.config/glances, /etc/glances
|
|
``*BSD`` ~/.config/glances, /usr/local/etc/glances
|
|
``OS X`` ~/Library/Application Support/glances, /usr/local/etc/glances
|
|
``Windows`` %APPDATA%\glances
|
|
=========== ============================================================
|
|
|
|
On Windows XP, the ``%APPDATA%`` path is:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data
|
|
|
|
Since Windows Vista and newer versions:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming
|
|
|
|
User-specific options override system-wide options and options given on
|
|
the command line override either.
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Glances reads configuration files in the *ini* syntax.
|
|
|
|
Each plugin and export module can have a section. Below an example for
|
|
the CPU plugin:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[cpu]
|
|
user_careful=50
|
|
user_warning=70
|
|
user_critical=90
|
|
iowait_careful=50
|
|
iowait_warning=70
|
|
iowait_critical=90
|
|
system_careful=50
|
|
system_warning=70
|
|
system_critical=90
|
|
steal_careful=50
|
|
steal_warning=70
|
|
steal_critical=90
|
|
|
|
Logging
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Glances logs all of its internal messages to a log file.
|
|
|
|
``DEBUG`` messages can been logged using the ``-d`` option on the command
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
By default, the ``glances.log`` file is under the temporary directory:
|
|
|
|
===================== ==================================================
|
|
``Linux, *BSD, OS X`` /tmp
|
|
``Windows`` %APPDATA%\\Local\\temp
|
|
===================== ==================================================
|
|
|
|
If ``glances.log`` is not writable, a new file will be created and
|
|
returned to the user console.
