    Forwarding Proxmox logs to Graylog

    I did :) Bit.. of a bigger challenge when you want to stream the logs to a central logger/store (Like Loki / ElasticSearch) using a quite static tool (like Promtail / Fluentd / Graylog )

    Forwarding Proxmox logs to Graylog

    My question, as I'm busy with a central logging project on multiple ProxMox clusters to log to Loki via Promtail: is there a hook script of sorts to be able to know when the next file is created/closed/etc.? A bit counter productive to scan the directory every couple of minutes, and then to...

    Promtail (to Loki) for task logs?

    One of the questions that arise with this: is there a hook that would be called at the end of tasks? Then it'll be an easy method to use that to send the task output to the central logger

    Advice for memory optimisation / overcommit

    The same way as ISPs oversell bandwidth by playing a numbers game ie. expecting that, on average, users will not use more than 50% of RAM, thus 100 x 2G VPS's expecting to not use more than 100*2*0.5GB of RAM. Some even enforce (inside VMs) echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches and others have...

    Synchronization over latency links - parallel fetches?

    That is/has been the "solution" to assist in catching up, but it becomes.... tedious to load/create them all. But then it gets stuck with the single big DB which is then single synchronous thread.

    systemtap compatible kernels?

    I've got a situation where I need to run something like systemtap to track especially DNS requests. Found this solution https://serverfault.com/questions/192893/how-i-can-identify-which-process-is-making-udp-traffic-on-linux/192920#192920 that would've be a "perfect" solution, but PVE kernels...

    Synchronization over latency links - parallel fetches?

    I have a case where the latency for a cross continent synchronization, is being slowed down by the "small" requests from the pulling PBS. If I start up multiple synchronization jobs for multiple backups groups, I do get the full (expected) bandwidth, but when it's "stuck" on a single group's...

    Secrets vault or similar to Instance metadata and user data (AWS IMDSv1/2)

    I'm starting to hit my head into the needs for something similar to AWS's IMDS (using IPs fd00:ec2::254 & 169.254.169.254) with something connected to a Vault (ala HAshiCorp's Vault) for secrets and automated secret sharing/etc. without the secrets/passwords being unencrypted in the VM/LXC...

    Machines lose network connectivity after host network restart

    One reason: OpenVSwitch's deamon needs to restart, and that kills the bridge during updates/upgrades of the `openvswitch-switch` package

    FAI(me) .ISO for guests - with cloud-init suport?

    Good day I've stumbled on FAIme https://fai-project.org/FAIme/ which creates a "nice" ISO installer that mostly just work... except for the requirement/need of DHCP (not an option at present, unless you could advise a ISC KEA option/replacement with cost effective (for me) static host API...

    VM network crash after openvswitch-switch upgrade

    well... that replug via GUI is just.... not feasible when you have tens of VMs/LXCs to do. Where is that `ifreload` documented? I wished it was something part of the upgrade documentation/etc. or at least triggered with a warning whenever OpenVSwitch is involved

    VM network crash after openvswitch-switch upgrade

    oh, I've been working around this since 6.x days with out of band RMI/iKVM connections that I run the `apt [dist-]upgrade` in a screen/tmux/byobu session after pre-vacuuming the hypervisor, as I know that the VM etc. interfaces will also by "lost" after the OpenVSwitch restart It's especially...

    LXC (Ubuntu/Debian) with systemd-resolved's /etc/resolv.conf and adding DNS info?

    Good day, I got the need to fix the DNS query flooding and to deploy systemd-resolved, BUT that means I need to find a different way to inject the LXC's search domains and DNS server. I know what I all have to modify/change, but before I go on that endeavour, I'm wondering what others are...

    Proxmox VE 7.2 released!

    I need to add the correction there: *IF* you use OpenV-Switch *NO* You must be doing that from a console, and expect to reboot as that is the easier way to get the system and the VM/LXCs connected back to the OpenVswitch bridge(s). Sorry, I get bitten by this every time when I tried this...

    [7.1][OVH][NETPLAN]No network into LXC containers

    Using the OLA (Which I believe might be similar for Scale... I wish I had a client willing to pay for a proxmox cluster with scale server) I use OpenVSwitch with the LACP bond to get a bridge setup. That set, I'm only connecting the OLA/OpenVSwitch bridges to the VRack. On the Internet/Public...

    [SOLVED] ProxMox OpenVPN cannot connect

    Simple, you need to firstly understand IPTables, and then to also know the whole datacentre firewalling stuff (which I ignore like a bad turd as I do those on a FortiGate-VM) as you need to also allow the correct INCOMING traffic to make the return traffic complete the connections - especially...
