Getting a global list of snapshots

[damo2929]

Hi all
on vmware you can get the system to alert for systems with snapshots over a certain age.

I am looking for write a script of some kind to do the same for proxmox, but does anybody know how to get a global list of snapshots across all the VM's?

I know that it's most likey going to need the API, am assuming that the only way to do this will be to get a list of the VM's and then loop over them to get a list unless
there is a better way.

Which storage type?
For ZFS you can use

zfs list -t snapshot

that only good if your using ZFS, am using Ceph

There might be a similar way with Ceph, however a PVE centric, storage independent, way would look something like this
(not production ready code):

mycluster=$(pvesh get /cluster/resources --output json)
cutoff=$(date --date="-30days" +%s)
for myvm in $(jq -r '.[]|select(.type == "qemu")|.node+"/"+.id' <<< $mycluster);do
  mysnap=$(pvesh  get /nodes/"$myvm"/snapshot --output json);
  mysnaptime=$(jq -r '.[].snaptime' <<< $mysnap);
  if [[ $cutoff -gt $mysnaptime ]];then
    echo Snapshot is more than 30 days old $mysnaptime;
  fi;
done
