Hello guys,

To begin, thanks for your work! proxmox VE is a very nice tool :)

So... my "problem" is this one :
I'm using proxmox VE at home to "play" with some vms (home assistant, pihole, docker, etc...). I have a docker container which hold an influx database, to store all kind of datas : from sensors states to vm perfs.
Now, I want to send proxmox VE stats to monitor my host.
Quite easy to do in proxmox configuration, but now I'm flooded with a lot of stats. I'm sure all of those are usefull in a prod environnement, but at home, it's really overkill.

Do I a have a solution to choose only some stats (like CPU, RAM, disk usage) to send to my influx db, whitout scripting everything ?

Note : I have a telegraf "proxmox input pluggin" (running in my docker host) to catch vm stats, but it doesn't work for the complete host. Maybe it's an idea to follow, but i don't known how...

thanks in advance for your help.

no currently there is no way to configure which stats we send, so you'd have script it yourself
 
Hello,

thanks for your reply.
I think i'll go with moving my telegraf directly on the host.
thanks again
