Glances

Seeing how how HaynesIntelligence could get motivated me to expose some sensor data so I could keep an eye on things.

With the long term goal of viewing host metrics in Grafana I first needed something that could scrape them. Glances looked like something simple that was worth a try. It even had a native Grafana dashboard.

I found a helper script that was easy enough to run and get things viewable at a http://192.168.0.250:61208.

However, but difficult to tell what the temperature sensors represented without doing some more research (TODO that):

hi temps

I decided to install on an intel host to have something to compare against. Once again the script got the job done and I was presented with http://192.168.0.34:61208 to locally view my senor data. At least this time I got Core temps which AMD doesn’t show:

pve01 temps

More hosts to be done later but not worth the lift until I get an Influx DB and grafana instance running in k8s to point this data to.
