ActionsΒΆ
Glances can trigger actions on events.
By action
, we mean all shell command line. For example, if you want
to execute the foo.py
script if the last 5 minutes load are critical
then add the _action
line to the Glances configuration file:
[load]
critical=5.0
critical_action=python /path/to/foo.py
All the stats are available in the command line through the use of the {{mustache}} syntax. Another example would be to create a log file containing used vs total disk space if a space trigger warning is reached:
[fs]
warning=70
warning_action=echo {{mnt_point}} {{used}}/{{size}} > /tmp/fs.alert
Note
You can use all the stats for the current plugin. See https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/wiki/The-Glances-2.x-API-How-to for the stats list.
