API Call - Get VM info

[API]

Is there an API call to get the load, RAM usage, bandwidth usage, et cetera for a KVM VPS? Either in a list for the node or on an individual VM basis. Either will work.

Overview of all resources in the cluster:

# pvesh get /cluster/resources

Status for all KVM VMs on a specific node:

# pvesh get /nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu

or a single VM:

# pvesh get /nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu/<VMID>/status/current

# pvesh get /nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu

or a single VM:

# pvesh get /nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu/<VMID>/status/current

Would the nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu return an array of whatever /nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu/<VMID>/status/current would return? Also, do you by any chance have a sample return for /nodes/<NODENAME>/qemu/<VMID>/status/current? I'm going to be using the JSON API, but I won't have an opportunity to start for a few more weeks and anything to familiarize myself now.

Why don't you simply run above pvesh commands?- that way you can see what it returns.

What about HTTP calls?

I tried using
curl -XGET -k -H $(cat token) -b $(cat cookie) https://host:port/api2/json/cluster/resources -type vm
but it returns all the resources rather than just the VMs.

For pvesh local mode it works fine, I'm using HTTP calls from a remote client.

is there any way to get AVG data of given period in text format for CPU usage, Memory usage, and network bandwidth details like monthly reports

 

[dcsapak]

you could use the /nodes/{node}/rrddata or /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/rrddata api calls for that i guess, but it only shows the last day|month|year etc. no historic data
for that i would setup an external metric server, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/External_Metric_Server

hi everyone, im also looking for a JSON API that returns the status of the CPU, RAM, Memory and Disk. After these 2 years, was it created?
