NATS
====
NATS is a message broker.
You can export statistics to a ``NATS`` server.
The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as
following:
.. code-block:: ini
[nats]
host=nats://localhost:4222
prefix=glances
and run Glances with:
.. code-block:: console
$ glances --export nats
Data model
-----------
Glances stats are published as JSON messagesto the following subjects:
<prefix>.<plugin>
Example:
CPU stats are published to glances.cpu
So a simple Python client will subscribe to this subject with:
import asyncio
import nats
async def main():
nc = nats.NATS()
await nc.connect(servers=["nats://localhost:4222"])
future = asyncio.Future()
async def cb(msg):
nonlocal future
future.set_result(msg)
await nc.subscribe("glances.cpu", cb=cb)
# Wait for message to come in
print("Waiting (max 30 seconds) for a message on 'glances' subject...")
msg = await asyncio.wait_for(future, 30)
print(msg.subject, msg.data)
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(main())
To subscribe to all Glannces stats use wildcard:
await nc.subscribe("glances.*", cb=cb)
