list vms connected to bridge

[Hyien]

how can i list all VMs (including powered off and disconnected ones) on a bridge?

You can do it with the API. You can GET on nodes/<node>/qemu to get VM IDs and then GET on nodes/<node>/qemu/<vmid>/config and filter for the bridge name.

Alternatively, you can search /etc/pve for the bridge name.

that's not possible directly, but something like the following should work (replace XX with bridge of your choice):

grep -l '^net.*bridge=vmbrXX' /etc/pve/nodes/*/{qemu-server,lxc}/*.conf

but it might contain some false positives (e.g., it will also contain matches that are just in snapshots).

I realize this was awhile ago, but I just started using proxmox and wondered how todo this. Great answer. I think I will add it as a shell function, maybe even try to make a verbose version that will print the node.conf files for those listed. Or maybe that has been done since then or added as a command.
Thanks Fabian
