Glances [Flux] 2025

A Glances dashboard to monitor docker environment for Glances + InfluxDB2.x + Flux

What does it do?

Displays data collected using Glances.

Some of the data displayed in the dashboard:

System info
Mount point storage used
Disk IO
Sensors temperatures
Comprehensive table showing all containers memory usage
Individual tables for each container showing memory and cpu usage

Supports easily changing the data bucket, host and sensors. Data is sourced from InfluxDB 2.x using Flux.

Requirements:

For best results you will need:

Docker environment with your containers you want to monitor
Glances container
InfluxDB 2.x container
Grafana container, configured to use Flux query language with InfluxDB

How to use it?

If you don’t have one yet, deploy a new InfluxDB 2.x server and create a new bucket for glances.

Configure your glances.conf file to export data to InfluxDB, this is what the default looks like:

[influxdb2]
host=localhost
port=8086
protocol=http
org=nicolargo **or whatever org you have setup with InfluxDB and Grafana**
bucket=glances **or the name of the new bucket you just created**
token=**your token from your new bucket in InfluxDB**

Start Glances with the export flag: glances --export influxdb2
Import this Dashboard in Grafana.
If you don’t see data ensure you have selected the right bucket and host from the dropdowns.
