[Community project] Proximo — an open-source, least-privilege MCP/API layer for managing PVE with an AI agent (feedback wanted)

[broadway]

For such problems you should use a dedicated monitoring software (e.G. a nagios variant like checkmk or icinga, Zabbix or prometheus) to have relieable, deterministic alarms if something went wrong not some AI hallucination.

alarms should be deterministic and proximo is not a monitoring system. i dont market it as one and i wouldnt want it holding a pager.

RRD here is for asking a question once, on purpose, when youre already looking. its not for watching a threshold. checkmk, icinga, zabbix, prometheus own that job and they should.

worth knowing: proximo has pve_metrics_server_set, _list and _delete, which configure PVE's metrics export to influxdb or graphite. so if anything it helps you stand up the stack you just named, rather than replace it.
