check alive for vm's?

[copymaster]

Hi everybody,

i am using a proxmoxcluster in production with 24 virtual machines and it works great so far. there's only one thing, that can be improoved by the proxmoxteam.

The webinterface is great , too. But i have a few virtual machines that begin to freeze after a while of work.

It is one windows machine and one Linux machine.

What about a feature, that "checks" the virtual machines time by time and generates an Email error in case of a failing vm? or an automatic restart ?

What do you think?


greetings

Hi,
monitoring with email notification can you do with icinga (a nagios fork).
So you get an email if the host are not reachable.
A "short" howto you find here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Monitoring_with_Icinga
