    Reading IO Wait times from the Proxmox Host instead of inside the VM

    I want to monitor IO Wait, also called wa in top. I have a script that outputs the values, which works perfectly inside the VM: $ sh check.sh 2024-10-28 06:03:11 - IO Wait: 18%, Load averages: 1.13, 1.15, 1.26 2024-10-28 06:03:13 - IO Wait: 21%, Load averages: 1.20, 1.16, 1.27 2024-10-28...

    VM with ZFS raw disks over iSCSI does not boot due to missing extents in TrueNAS

    I just had a situation similar to @linkstat . In fact, I have it quite often when I have failed or aborted migrations between different disks using Proxmox and TrueNAS core. I often have a disk that 'stays behind' although the copy worked. I don't really worry about this these disks, until this...

    Advice for Traffic Accounting (bytes-in, bytes-out) on Bridge Ports or VXLAN for many VMs

    Hi @whitemeercat68 , Thank you! You reminded me what a great product LibreNMS so I revived an old installation. It turns for now at least LibreNMS perfectly suits my need. As an aside I also use PRTG which has exceptional reporting and push (incessant) notifications. In summary: LibreNMS...

    High(ish) IO Delays during PBS (VM in PVE) running verify jobs and backup jobs

    Thank you! After months of struggling with Proxmox Backup Server I find this post which is so helpful to me. What started of as a single installation of TrueNAS Scale about year ago has grown into four different NAS installations spread across a cluster. My original environment was...

    Whilst move storage from local-lvm to TrueNAS ZFS over iSCSI: Warning: volblocksize (4096) is less than the default minimum block size (8192).

    After battling to understand this problem and all the terminology in my near perfect Proxmox VE environment, I have finally made substantial progress in solving the issue for (my environment). Environment: - Proxmox VE - ZFS over iSCSI to TrueNAS Scale When you set up ZFS over iSCSI with...

    Advice for Traffic Accounting (bytes-in, bytes-out) on Bridge Ports or VXLAN for many VMs

    Our network consists mostly of 10 Gbit/s switched backbones to the internet. On the network we have a cluster of Proxmox VM hosts with around a 100 VMs. We have the need to do traffic accounting, per VM, in the most efficient manner. We don't need to count protocol traffic flowing via internet...

    ethtool eth0 displays 1000Mb/s correctly, but shouldn't virtio 'virtual' network connections be x10 faster?

    My setup is: A Proxmox VE host server with 1000Mb/s physical network card An ZFS over iSCSI link to a virtual machine on the same host which is running TrueNAS Core. Virtio. Numerous VMs all sharing the same NAS, mostly Debian derivatives. All Virtio On the host: # ethtool eth0 Settings for...

    snmpd[2644]: systemstats_linux: unexpected header length in /proc/net/snmp. 237 != 224

    I tried this in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and it didn't work: dontLogTCPWrappersConnects yes So now I guess we wait for Debian or the Proxmox VE teams to evaluate the latest SNMP service updates, and decide if it's worth including this bugfixed version given the risks, if any.

    How to use more than 1/4 of disk for root?

    I have a similar question. 2.7 GB total disk space maxroot made to be 1024 GB during installation. pve-root ends up being 708.4 GB after this new installation. Is there an easy explanation why pve-root is limited in size in proportion to the total disk space? (I read somewhere 1/3 not 1/4).

    snmp in 2024

    All the guides you show are relevant. I think your SNMP service is actually working because I see this: Active: active (running) since Tue 2024-03-12 09:46:36 CET; 8min ago With regards to the snmp-mibs-downloader library, it's strictly speaking not needed but installing it will make SNMP...

    Reject unknown clients and senders

    After battling to understand these settings myself, and then carefully reading the Postfix documentation over and over again, I conclude these are both very good settings to enable by default. 1. The first setting, "Reject Unknown Clients", does a more intense PTR check and if there are...

    This is how I find it in the log: More specific, you can do this: Then I get this: In the UI I one can see this: The only anomaly I found on a new installation was that `clamav-freshclam` wasn't started: But of course that was quickly sorted out with:

    Proxmox cloud whmcs+ modulesgarden proxmox cloud and hostbill cloud

    I can't vouch for Hostbill because I've never used it, but I'm an avid user of WHMCS. From the client side, the Modules Gardens WHMCS Proxmox VE module is really great. It's easy to understand, intuitive, and it's high quality software. Also they really keep things up to date - as of today...

    How to configure actual mail server for PMG

    Ah man I would love a HOWTO for Virtualmin!? We have many Virtualmin clients who are complaining about spam, especially phishing. Virtualmin has SpamAssassin by default but ClamAV is a challenge with at least 2GB RAM just for that. Example phishing problem: SpamAssassin score = 2.7, need 5.0...

    Move Backup datastore from one ProxMox Backup Server to a new one

    Is there perhaps a step by step guide how to move backup from one PBS server to another? We have a lot of space on one server, and less space on another server. We want to try and load balance across the two by manually moving some VM backups from the one to the other. So far it seems...
