Glances, up, and private.
Glances' web server shows a machine's processes, disks and network to whoever opens it, unless it was started with a password. Tillarr asks its page, which names it, in Glances 4 and 3 alike.
On your network or a VPN it reads Up. At an address outside them, without a password, it reads Unprotected, with what to do.

- A warning when it shows this machine to anyone at an address outside your network
Connect Glances
What to have ready when you add it in Tillarr.
- Its address. Usually http://your-server:61208. Add a remote address too, and Tillarr uses it when home doesn't answer.
- Nothing else. Watching needs no key and no login, so it's free and can't change anything in Glances.
Good to know
- Start Glances with --password to make it ask for one, or keep it on your network or a VPN.
- Glances' web server listens on 61208 when started with -w.
How Tillarr checks Glances
Without a key, Tillarr asks for / to see that Glances is up. Every request goes from your device straight to your server, never through us.
Questions
Does Tillarr read Glances' numbers?
Not yet: it watches whether Glances is up. A health card from its API is on the roadmap.
Does Tillarr need a Glances password?
No. It watches without one, and says so when Glances doesn't ask for one at a public address.
