All containers and disks show as question marks

Happened after updating from the GUI the packages.... no idea why and nothing I've found about restarting services has helped.
Some screenshots of the GUI below

Reboot didn't fix and restarting services from other forum posts didn't fix it either.

Please provide the full output in code-tags of:

• systemctl status pvestatd.service
• pvesm status

Also check your syslog.

Do you have or had an external metric server: [1] configured?
Please check, if it is (still) configured properly and reachable or remove it (at least for testing).

I had installed a lxc grafana image, but have since uninstalled it and purged the info. rebooted. Still throwing the same error.

 

[Neobin]

Can you please provide the full output in code-tags of: cat /etc/pve/status.cfg

 

[mkyb14]

root@pve:~# cat /etc/pve/status.cfg
influxdb:
server 192.168.22.21
port 8089

 

[Neobin]

As you can see, there is still a config.
Since this file does not exist on my PVE-hosts at all, I would suggest to rename or move (as a backup) or even delete it and reboot the PVE-host afterwards again.

 

[mkyb14]

that fixed it. So is PVE looking at that directory for a status.cfg and if ones there it breaks metrics?

 

[Neobin]

It seems to possibly break them, if the configured external metric server is not reachable:

• https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/a...er-vms-show-status-unknown.79969/#post-354032 and subsequent
• https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4130 (seems related)
