InfluxDB

You can export statistics to an InfluxDB server (time series server). The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as following:

[influxdb]
host=localhost
port=8086
user=root
password=root
db=glances

and run Glances with:

$ glances --export-influxdb

InfluxDB 0.9 or higher also supports an optional tags configuration parameter specified as comma separated key:value pairs. For example:

[influxdb]
host=localhost
port=8086
user=root
password=root
db=glances
tags=foo:bar,spam:eggs

Grafana

For Grafana users, Glances provides a dedicated dashboard. To use it, just import the file in your Grafana web interface.
