I'm not sure how to describe what's happening, but it's a big problem.

I'm running Proxmox 8.1.4, with five VMs and one LXC container. In the last week, one VM (the same one) has crashed several times. Each time it's gone down, the entire Proxmox reporting screen has been affected: In the "server view" in the left panel, all of the nodes, disks, and VMs/containers display a gray question mark, and there's no "Summary" information or graphing (Memory Usage, Disk I/O, etc.) displayed at all. However, all of the these _are_ working, except for the failed VM: going to "Console" on any of the other VMs works, for example.

The first time this happened, I rebooted Proxmox entirely, and it functioned normally, until that VM crashed again. Without restarting, though, this is still failed. When the VM crashed again, I was able to restart it by going to that VM, and stopping it and launching it again, and now it's working fine. But Proxmox is still not showing any info for this or any of the other VMs/nodes/etc.

I obviously need to figure out a couple of things, such as why that VM is crashing, but also why Proxmox is partially dying as a result of it. I'd welcome any suggestions, and can supply any other information if someone can tell me what to look for. Thanks.
