[SOLVED] Fstrim script via QEMU guest agent

[EuroDomenii]

For performance reasons, instead of mounting with discard option inside KVM, it's better running external fstrim command via qemu-guest-agent, on host cron event.

However, discard=on must be setup in KVM storage configuration at /etc/pve/qemu-server/VMid.conf

Default mode is sending mail to Linux root when QEMU guest agent is running, or on another execution error

cat /etc/crontab

*/30 * * * * root /var/eurodomenii/scripts/github/proxmox_fstrim_qemu-guest-agent/fstrim_via_guest-agent.pl >/dev/null 2>&1

Howewer, there's a print mode on screen:

./fstrim_via_guest-agent.pl print

Script fstrim_via_guest-agent.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $mode = "mail";
if (@ARGV && ($ARGV[0] eq "print")) {
    $mode = "print";
}

my $node = `hostname`;
chomp $node;
my @vmids = `pvesh get /nodes/$node/qemu/ --output-format json-pretty | jq -r '.[] | .vmid'`;

my $fstrim_exec = "";
my $message = "";

foreach my $i (@vmids) {
    chomp $i;
    my $status = `qm status $i`;
    chomp $status;
    next if $status ne "status: running";
    if ($mode eq "print") {
        $fstrim_exec = `qm guest exec $i fstrim -- "-av"`;
        print "Fstrim results for $i VM \n $fstrim_exec \n";
    } else {
        $fstrim_exec = `qm guest exec $i fstrim -- "-av" | awk -F":" '/exited/{print \$2}'`;
        if ($fstrim_exec eq "") {
           #This error code means QEMU guest agent is not running
            #Test this by running in VM systemctl stop qemu-guest-agent.service
            $message .= "QEMU guest agent is not running for VM $i on node $node\n";
        } elsif (index($fstrim_exec, "0") != -1) {
            $message .= "Even QEMU guest agent is running, there's an execution error of fstrim command for VM $i on node $node\n";
        }
    }
}

if ($mode eq "mail" && $message ne "") {
    my $to = "root";
    my $fullhostname = `hostname -f`;
    $fullhostname =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g ;
    my $from = "root@".$fullhostname;
    my $subject = "Fstrim discard report on Proxmox node $node";

    open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

    # Email Header
    print MAIL "To: $to\n";
    print MAIL "From: $from\n";
    print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
    # Email Body
    print MAIL $message;

    my $result = close(MAIL);
    if(!$result){
        #ToDo write to logs
        #print "There was a problem, Bro!\n";
    }
}

Does anyone have a Script to run well for both Linux and Windows, and send the amount in MB / GB that was cleaned in the e-mail?
