Glances Newbee question on setting up glances export to influx on windows

[Ralf Pfitzner]

Hi all,

I assume, I'm doing something stupid and easily to find, but I just can grasp my error for now.

This is my setup:

Influx DB (integrated on from home assistant, running on Ubuntu server)

Config from within Hass.io add-on details

{

  "auth": true,

  "reporting": true,

  "ssl": true,

  "certfile": "fullchain.pem",

  "keyfile": "privkey.pem"

}

Database glances is up and running, local glances instance is reporting to it, fine.

Glances config within Hass.io add-on details:

{

  "log_level": "info",

  "process_info": false,

  "refresh_time": 10,

  "ssl": true,

  "certfile": "fullchain.pem",

  "keyfile": "privkey.pem",

  "influxdb": {

    "enabled": true,

    "host": "a0d7b954-influxdb",

    "port": 8086,

    "username": "glances",

    "password": "somepassword",

    "database": "glances",

    "prefix": "localhost",

    "interval": 60

  }

}

The host name is from the influx db and looks like automatically set up by home-assistant add.on.

I know the right IP of the host, port 8086 is open, fine.

Now I have installed glances on a windows server, working fine when locally access, even the sensing of infos into home-assistant is working and showing correct values, fine.

Now I want to export glances data from the windows server to the influx db on the ubuntu server, setting up glances.config.

[global]

# Does Glances should check if a newer version is available on PyPI?

check_update=false

[influxdb]

# Configuration for the --export influxdb option

# https://influxdb.com/

host=ip.of.ubuntu.server

port=8086

user=glances

password=somepassword

db=glances

prefix=mywindowsserver

Nothing happens in influx (data from ubuntu glances is coming fine).

So, where is the missing link?

Thanks upfront

Ralf

By the way, I start glances with 

glances.exe -C c:\python38-32\Scripts\glances.conf --export influxdb -d

And here was the error :-)

Correct path to glances.conf is c:\python\python38-32\Scripts\glances.conf

Problem solved
