When running pct list or qm list I get the objects on the current node. How can I get all objects in one cluster?
 
I realize that this is an ancient thread, but I stumbled across this looking for an answer to this very same question.

The stated "use pvesh" answer isn't entirely helpful; nor is "man pvesh", for that matter. After some sputtering I found that pvesh get cluster/nextid got me the answer I needed - the next available instance ID (100+n+1).

But I still have no idea how to get a list of all instances that are in my cluster, from ID 100 through 100+n. Maybe this is an odd question to ask...

Hi @maarten256 , the request of the OP in this thread was not to find next available ID. But good for you on finding the correct API call for your needs.

Its a good question to ask. Here is a collection of mostly more recent threads with examples of how to extract various data:

While "man pvesh" is definitely a resource you should be familiar with, the more fundamental documentation can be found here:

I know this thread is existing for long time , but I came across today as I needed to list all VMs in our cluster and I couldn't find the correct command , so I am sharing the command here
command pvesh get cluster/resources will list all available resources like nodes , networks and VMs , so you need to filter for qemu only

Code: 
pvesh get cluster/resources --output-format json \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="qemu") | .name'
