Glances, up, and private.

WatchGlances · System monitorWatched for free, with no key

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.

How Tillarr shows Glances without a key, with example values.

What you see

  • Whether it answers, how quickly, and which address answered
  • A tap to open its own web page
  • 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.

  1. Its address. Usually http://your-server:61208. Add a remote address too, and Tillarr uses it when home doesn't answer.
  2. 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.
