[SOLVED] Hello, I have a question about Proxmox VE API. I don't know the difference between the two returned data?

[chenym]

I want to call the API interface in the figure below. What is the difference between the two return values in the red box?

First one is the status of the KVM process that actually runs the VM, ie is VM itself stopped or running.
Second is the status of the Agent package installed inside the VM that allows you to control some aspects of the VM even without available network connection.

Thank you. Do you know the value of the second state? I only found runing and stopped. Is there any other value?

Hi,
the status is currently always either running or stopped. This can be seen in the format in the API viewer. The description for the qmpstatus is actually misleading, it has nothing to do with the agent, but rather is the status from the QMP command query-status (see here). The possible values are: https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interop/qemu-qmp-ref.html#qapidoc-85
