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:

.. code-block:: ini

[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
