Description:Currently, the Proxmox VE Web UI shows limited information about the guest operating system in the "Summary" tab. While this data is already available through the API via the agent/get-host-name and agent/get-osinfo endpoints, it is not visible to users in the GUI.
Proposed Change:Add two new fields in the VM "Summary" panel (preferably under the "Status" or "Guest Agent" section):
Hostname: Displaying the actual hostname reported by the QEMU Guest Agent.
OS Version: Displaying the "pretty-name" (e.g., "Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS" or "Windows 10 Pro").
Benefit:This would allow administrators to quickly identify VMs and their patch levels without having to open a console or run external API scripts. It improves the "at-a-glance" management of large clusters.
Even though the Proxmox forum can be a good place to start some discussions or see whether other users are running into some scenario as well, our Bugzilla [0] is the best place to share requests for feature enhancements and bugs.
