[SOLVED] OpenTelemetry server

[Skibbi]

Hi,
I have 2 proxmox environments: one stand-alone server and one 3-node cluster. Both environments started with proxmox 8 and I upgraded both to version 9 recently. When I was looking around Metric Server on both environments I found out that on standalone server I can add OpenTelementry but I don't see this option on the clustered proxmox. Also I don't see any mention in the documentation about OpenTelementry server - so why I have this option on the standalone server? Are there any documentation on this feature?

FWIW, I can see OpenTelemetry mentioned in the Proxmox VE 9.0 Changelog Overview at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap

The new OpenTelemetry plugin pushes metrics via the OTLP/HTTP protocol to an external OpenTelemetry collector.

I haven't found it mentioned in the fresh PDF of "Proxmox VE Administration Guide".

I can add OpenTelementry but I don't see this option on the clustered proxmox.

Look at: Datacenter --> Metric Server --> Add (Button Drop/Down) --> Open Telemetry.

Disclaimer: haven't used it yet...

OK, I think my browser cache was outdated. After refreshing the proxmox webui it is available for selection.
Then it's time to spin up otel collector and test the monitoring.
