How can you check if a virtual machine is running on Proxmox? (KVM)

[harmonyp]

I am curious is there any way to check if a virtual machine (KVM) is running on a Proxmox node?

I have found multiple commands along the line of

sudo lshw -class system

&

sudo dmesg | grep -i virtual

but these just return a generic QEMU message.

The only way I can think of is by running

dhclient -d -nw eth0

which would return the DHCP server IP and then if the firewall lets you connect through https://DHCPSERVERIP:8006

What about "qm list" ?

What about "qm list" ?

Not what I am asking

Asking to see if there is a way to check if a virtual machine is running on top of Proxmox. qm would not be installed in a default cloud image.

maybe you could use the Proxmox API to to this?

detecting proxmox isn't possible since it simply uses kvm

systemd-detect-virt will tell you the hypervisor/container engine
