Hi @Amxx , if i understand your need, you want to serve both XML/RCP and HTTP/Restful API from one Glances server. It is not possible for the current version (and will not be possible with the next 2.8 release). Nevertheless, it is an interesting enhance request. We need to refactor the server to do that.
As a workaround you can run two Glances server one with the -s and another one with the -w... It is not perfect but it should work with your NGinx reverse proxy...
I'm not sure if I missed something in the documentation, but I just spent the last hour or so trying to get -w and -s to work together.
My assumption/understanding was that the -w parameter allows me to access glances status through a browser, and the -s parameter allows a central server to gather glances data from multiple machines that are running in client mode. This understanding is/was wrong.
Was this ever implemented? I’m running version 3.1.0 and observe the same behavior as Amxx describes.
run this commande line : nohup glances -s &| nohup glances -w &
tcpdump
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:61208 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 629319/python3
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:61209 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 629276/python3
So im transfered from https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/2020 , when whis talking about -s -w
, I'm looking on -C -w
combo. That enable central monitoring via web, when my current workaround is using wetty
with openssh
to manually execute glances -C --browse
.
Also alike https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/discussions/2292.
Thanks.
One way to respond to the need is to run two sub-processes, one for the XML Server and another one for the REST Server. Both sub-processes will consume/expose the same stats.
Also keep in mind this another need during the implementation: https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/1527
@nicolargo
Was there any specific reason we stick with XML-RPC for the glances server?
Were there any problem with JSON-RPC options?
@RazCrimson Very good point. I think it will be nice if only one interface protocol will be used for both client/server and WebServer.
What about only use REST/JSON interface ?
It's a big refactor for the client/server and client/browser mode.
What's your opinion ?
Hello,
I'd like to run both glances server (
-s
) and webserver (-w
) on the same machine. As the server option run on port 61209 (default) and webserver on port 61208 (default) I guessed it would not cause issues.The idea is to use the same subdomain for both (nginx reverse proxy) so that
system.mydomain.com:80
→ redirection tolocalhost:61209
forglances -c
connectionsystem.mydomain.com:443
→ redirection tolocalhost:61208
for web accessIt's not perfect but it would suit me well.
The thing is I'd like to run only on glance and have it handle both ... maybe I ask for to much, but still I tried "glances -s -w --password" ... and what do I get ?
Glances server is running on 0.0.0.0:61208
What the actual fuck ? It only starts the classical server (which I can understand if it doesn't support running both at the same time) but on the webserver port ! This is confusing ...
Is there a way to run both server using a single glances instance ? Why do the port get mixed up like that (maybe that needs a fix) ?
