No module named 'influxdb' on the snap version of glances

[gbonazzoli]

Description

I'm using the snap version of glances on Oracle Linux 8.2, in order to keep the operating system as clean as possible from package installation.

glances goes like a charm but I can not load an influxdb database withe the metrics collected.

[root@dblinux 902]# glances -C/root/glances.conf --export influxdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/glances/902/bin/glances", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('Glances==3.1.5', 'console_scripts', 'glances')())
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/__init__.py", line 143, in main
    start(config=config, args=args)
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/__init__.py", line 108, in start
    mode = GlancesMode(config=config, args=args)
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/standalone.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.stats = GlancesStats(config=config, args=args)
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/stats.py", line 48, in __init__
    self.load_modules(self.args)
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/stats.py", line 103, in load_modules
    self.load_exports(args=args)
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/stats.py", line 178, in load_exports
    export_module = __import__(self._exports_all[export_name])
  File "/snap/glances/902/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glances/exports/glances_influxdb.py", line 27, in <module>
    from influxdb import InfluxDBClient
ImportError: No module named 'influxdb'

I think it is only a problem on how the snap package is fullfilled.

Any chance to have an official snap with the functionality on board ?

@Lin-Buo-Ren What do you think of this request ? Is there a simple and good way to include Glances extra module in the default Snap ? Or is it better to create a new "Glances-Full" Snap ?

[brlin-tw]

I'd say we bundle all deps in one package. Will check it out.

[gbonazzoli]

@Lin-Buo-Ren In my opinion "bundle all deps in one snap package" is the right way.

No confusion at all for end users, also for those that want only to give "glances" a try before doing a full installation sorting out the extra-weight of the snap.

[nicolargo]

Ok...

@Lin-Buo-Ren any availability to contribute to this issue ?

Hello everybody

I have the same problem. It was working fine until the "latest version" of the docker-image was pulled on January, 24 2021. Following all the details:

docker-compose

glancesEXPORT:
        image: nicolargo/glances:latest
        container_name: glancesEXPORT
        restart: unless-stopped
        privileged: true
        networks:
            - t2_proxy
            - socket_proxy
        depends_on:
            - socket-proxy
        security_opt:
            - no-new-privileges:true
        pid: host
        volumes:
            - $USERDIR/glances/conf:/glances/conf/ # Use this if you want to add a glances.conf file
        environment:
          GLANCES_OPT: "-C /glances/conf/glances.conf --quiet --export influxdb"
          DOCKER_HOST: tcp://socket-proxy:2375

Since 24th same error message as above:

    from influxdb import InfluxDBClient

Versions differ though:

root@835ce63e4375:/glances# glances -V
Glances v3.1.6.1 with PsUtil v5.8.0

[akrea]

its me again.

I also tried to change the glances.conf to:

[influxdb]
host=localhost
port=8086
protocol=http
org=nicolargo
bucket=glances
token=EjFUTWe8U-MIseEAkaVIgVnej_TrnbdvEcRkaB1imstW7gapSqy6_6-8XD-yd51V0zUUpDy-kAdVD1purDLuxA==
# Prefix will be added for all measurement name
# Ex: prefix=foo
#     => foo.cpu
#     => foo.mem
# You can also use dynamic values
#prefix=`hostname`
prefix=localhost
# Tags will be added for all measurements
#tags=foo:bar,spam:eggs
# You can also use dynamic values
#tags=system:`uname -s`

as given in the documenation. I do have

X-Influxdb-Build: OSS
X-Influxdb-Version: 1.8.3

but then I get:
