Glances docker export to influxdb2 / prometheus

[a13519]

Describe the bug When I use docker compose to export to influxdb2 and prometheus, it prompts error in log:

Cannot connect to InfluxDB server 'None://None:None' (can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str)

Exception ignored in: <function InfluxDBClient.__del__ at 0xffffb86395e0>

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/influxdb_client/client/influxdb_client.py", line 265, in __del__

    if self.api_client:

To Reproduce The docker compose yaml is

version: '3.5'

services:
  #rPI-monitoring
  rPI-monitoring:
    image: nicolargo/glances:glances:3.2.0-full
    restart: always
    pid: host
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /home/tony/docker/GLP/config/glances.conf:/etc/glances.conf
    ports:
      - "61208:61208"     
      - "9091:9091"
    environment:
      - "GLANCES_OPT=--export influxdb2"

The config of export part (not full):

##############################################################################
# Exports
##############################################################################

[prometheus]
host=10.10.50.93
port=9091
#prefix=glances
labels=src:glances

[influxdb2]
host=10.10.50.93

token=ROnT9X4tQuwP09XzsxiO9hGRlbPAJ87DggL4VsqndBKdtZ0at4K5IYfSaQQ2gR0ETdceCu2DOoJyxBgRyo-ycQ==

Regardless of changing to prometheus, it also prompts error of Can not start Prometheus exporter on None:None (int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType')

Could you take a look?

Try this in your compose file:

GLANCES_OPT=--export influxdb2 -C /etc/glances.conf

Thanks for your replay, I get another error like:

GLANCES_OPT=--export influxdb2 -C /etc/glances.conf --quiet

[a13519]

no luck, get No log line matching the '' filter and no web access any more

[nicolargo]

@a13519 you said that you want to export to InfluxDB2 and Prometheus, but in your docker compose YAML file you only have the InfluxDB option (--export influxdb2).

First of all, Try:

GLANCES_OPT=--quiet --export prometheus -C /etc/glances.conf --quiet

Then:

GLANCES_OPT=--quiet --export influxdb2,prometheus -C /etc/glances.conf --quiet

Last think, you use a old version of Glances.

Replace:

image: nicolargo/glances:glances:3.2.0-full

by:

image: nicolargo/glances:glances:3.2.7-full

[a13519]

Thank you nicolargo!

I tried and my yaml is:

version: '3.5'

services:
  #glances
  glances:
    image: nicolargo/glances:3.2.7-full
    restart: always
    pid: host
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /home/tony/glances.conf:/etc/glances.conf
    ports:
      - "61208:61208"     
    environment:
      - "GLANCES_OPT=--export influxdb2 -C /etc/glances.conf --quiet"

But the log is showing

No log line matching the '' filter

no new log comes out ... it was halt...

The /etc/glances.conf is

[influxdb2]
# Configuration for the --export influxdb2 option
# https://influxdb.com/
host=101.101.50.93
port=9086
protocol=http
org=Xyz

I am not sure if I can directly send data to influxdb2 or have to set telegraf, it's kind of complication to manage multiple inputs and outputs by using telegraf.

I give up to watch Glances native dashboard :-)

[DorianMazur]

It's not working for me either.

For me it works. Here my docker-compose.yaml. Maybe it helps. latest=3.4.0.3

version: "3"

services:
  monitoring:
    container_name: glance
    image: nicolargo/glances:latest-full
    pid: host
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
      - "/DATA/AppData/glances/config/glances.conf:/etc/glances.conf"
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - GLANCES_OPT=--quiet --export influxdb2 -C /etc/glances.conf --quiet
