.. _api: Python API documentation ======================== This documentation describes the Glances Python API. Note: This API is only available in Glances 4.4.0 or higher. TL;DR ----- You can access the Glances API by importing the `glances.api` module and creating an instance of the `GlancesAPI` class. This instance provides access to all Glances plugins and their fields. For example, to access the CPU plugin and its total field, you can use the following code: .. code-block:: python >>> from glances import api >>> gl = api.GlancesAPI() >>> gl.cpu {'cpucore': 16, 'ctx_switches': 251879111, 'guest': 0.0, 'idle': 93.8, 'interrupts': 185450645, 'iowait': 0.3, 'irq': 0.0, 'nice': 0.0, 'soft_interrupts': 67942543, 'steal': 0.0, 'syscalls': 0, 'system': 4.3, 'total': 7.0, 'user': 1.5} >>> gl.cpu["total"] 7.0 >>> gl.mem["used"] 11333548672 >>> gl.auto_unit(gl.mem["used"]) 10.6G If the stats return a list of items (like network interfaces or processes), you can access them by their name: .. code-block:: python >>> gl.network.keys() ['wlp0s20f3'] >>> gl.network["wlp0s20f3"] {'alias': None, 'bytes_all': 1429, 'bytes_all_gauge': 1862956708, 'bytes_all_rate_per_sec': 9769.0, 'bytes_recv': 1071, 'bytes_recv_gauge': 1542173134, 'bytes_recv_rate_per_sec': 7321.0, 'bytes_sent': 358, 'bytes_sent_gauge': 320783574, 'bytes_sent_rate_per_sec': 2447.0, 'interface_name': 'wlp0s20f3', 'key': 'interface_name', 'speed': 0, 'time_since_update': 0.14627695083618164} Init Glances Python API ----------------------- Init the Glances API: .. code-block:: python >>> from glances import api >>> gl = api.GlancesAPI() Get Glances plugins list ------------------------ Get the plugins list: .. code-block:: python >>> gl.plugins() ['alert', 'ports', 'diskio', 'containers', 'processcount', 'programlist', 'gpu', 'percpu', 'system', 'network', 'cpu', 'amps', 'processlist', 'load', 'sensors', 'uptime', 'now', 'fs', 'wifi', 'ip', 'help', 'version', 'psutilversion', 'core', 'mem', 'folders', 'quicklook', 'memswap'] Glances alert ------------- Alert stats: .. code-block:: python >>> type(gl.alert) >>> gl.alert [{'avg': 89.33400090599146, 'begin': 1760796163, 'count': 2, 'desc': '', 'end': -1, 'global_msg': 'High swap (paging) usage', 'max': 89.33400090599146, 'min': 89.33400090599146, 'sort': 'memory_percent', 'state': 'WARNING', 'sum': 178.66800181198292, 'top': [], 'type': 'MEMSWAP'}] Alert fields description: * begin: Begin timestamp of the event * end: End timestamp of the event (or -1 if ongoing) * state: State of the event (WARNING|CRITICAL) * type: Type of the event (CPU|LOAD|MEM) * max: Maximum value during the event period * avg: Average value during the event period * min: Minimum value during the event period * sum: Sum of the values during the event period * count: Number of values during the event period * top: Top 3 processes name during the event period * desc: Description of the event * sort: Sort key of the top processes * global_msg: Global alert message Alert limits: .. code-block:: python >>> gl.alert.limits {'alert_disable': ['False'], 'history_size': 1200.0} Glances ports ------------- Ports stats: .. code-block:: python >>> type(gl.ports) >>> gl.ports [] Ports fields description: * host: Measurement is be done on this host (or IP address) * port: Measurement is be done on this port (0 for ICMP) * description: Human readable description for the host/port * refresh: Refresh time (in seconds) for this host/port * timeout: Timeout (in seconds) for the measurement * status: Measurement result (in seconds) * rtt_warning: Warning threshold (in seconds) for the measurement * indice: Unique indice for the host/port Ports limits: .. code-block:: python >>> gl.ports.limits {'history_size': 1200.0, 'ports_disable': ['False'], 'ports_port_default_gateway': ['True'], 'ports_refresh': 30.0, 'ports_timeout': 3.0} Glances diskio -------------- Diskio stats: .. code-block:: python >>> type(gl.diskio) >>> gl.diskio Return a dict of dict with key= >>> gl.diskio.keys() ['nvme0n1', 'nvme0n1p1', 'nvme0n1p2', 'nvme0n1p3', 'dm-0', 'dm-1'] >>> gl.diskio["nvme0n1"] {'disk_name': 'nvme0n1', 'key': 'disk_name', 'read_bytes': 10737252864, 'read_count': 540774, 'read_latency': 0, 'read_time': 156541, 'write_bytes': 20509295616, 'write_count': 1846020, 'write_latency': 0, 'write_time': 1396204} Diskio fields description: * disk_name: Disk name. * read_count: Number of reads. * write_count: Number of writes. * read_bytes: Number of bytes read. * write_bytes: Number of bytes written. * read_time: Time spent reading. * write_time: Time spent writing. * read_latency: Mean time spent reading per operation. * write_latency: Mean time spent writing per operation.
