How to find which VM is abusing the drives?

[Yakooza]

Hi Guys,

I am new here. Firstly I would like to thank you all for such a great product and I am very pleased so far with the quality and features of Proxmox!

I have used CentOS + KVM + livbirth in the past.

One question I had for now.

How can you find which VM is abusing the storage? I could not see such that tool in Proxmox.

For example in CentOS can be done by using virt-top command.

Thank you a lot.

Depending on the configuration you use, you can try to use iotop. But usually, disk activity can be corelated with CPU activity, and the culprit can be found using htop. Both tools can be installed from the command line

apt install iotop htop

In the Summary of each VM, you can scroll down to the bottom to get a pretty graph of the disk usage.

If you're not big on trolling through the web interface and want to do this at the CLI, then iotop that danielb recommended is probably the best option.

I was hoping for more something like virt-top. I know those commands. Thank you

It does not show about disk activity? It shows like how much usage used?
