../_images/events.png

Events list is displayed in the bottom of the screen if and only if:

  • at least one WARNING or CRITICAL alert was occurred

  • space is available in the bottom of the console/terminal

Each event message displays the following information:

  1. start datetime

  2. duration if alert is terminated or ongoing if the alert is still in progress

  3. alert name

  4. {min,avg,max} values or number of running processes for monitored processes list alerts

The configuration should be done in the [alert] section of the Glances configuration file:

[alert]
disable=False
# Maximum number of events to display (default is 10 events)
max_events=10
# Minimum duration for an event to be taken into account (default is 6 seconds)
min_duration=6
# Minimum time between two events of the same type (default is 6 seconds)
# This is used to avoid too many alerts for the same event
# Events will be merged
min_interval=6
