News configuration keys in the glances.conf file:

Graph:

Can be overwrite by the --graph-path command line option
path=/tmp
It is possible to generate the graphs automatically by setting the
generate_every to a non zero value corresponding to the seconds between
two generation. Set it to 0 to disable graph auto generation.
generate_every=60
See following configuration keys definitions in the Pygal lib documentation
http://pygal.org/en/stable/documentation/index.html
width=800
height=600
style=DarkStyle

Processes list Nice value:

[processlist]
Nice priorities range from -20 to 19.
Configure nice levels using a comma-separated list.

Nice: Example 1, non-zero is warning (default behavior)
nice_warning=-20,-19,-18,-17,-16,-15,-14,-13,-12,-11,-10,-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19

Nice: Example 2, low priority processes escalate from careful to critical
nice_careful=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
nice_warning=10,11,12,13,14
nice_critical=15,16,17,18,19

Docker plugin (related to 1152)

[docker]
By default, Glances only display running containers
Set the following key to True to display all containers
