Monitoring Proxmox

[hencebilal]

I installed proxmox server and I added a single node where there are several VMs, I want to target my Pve node with Grafana via prometheus (or you can suggest other solutions),


is there a guide to make it , i need help ??


Thanks you

Use the search function and search for 'grafana'. There are alot of threads in this forum explaining how to do this.

Or use one of the many tutorials out there like this one: https://www.linuxsysadmins.com/monitoring-proxmox-with-grafana/

Thanks you Dunuin !

Unfortunately, i followed the guide step by step , the most interesting metrics give a value like “N / A” at the end.

and i don't get any output on “show measurements” ...

can i have a help how to resolve this problem ?

I'm using vmagent, VictoriaMetrics and https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/13307 dashboard .

I ran into the same problem few weeks ago. If i remember right, i needed to upgrade grafana as the older version of grafana won't support the queries, provided by the dashboard

I will post how to monitor it without InfluxDB on this week. Keep calm

This is awesome!!

Question for you - what benefit(s) does this solution provide over Grafana and influxdb and exporting PVE stats, vs having to install vmagent on each proxmox host node?

InfluxDB provides for free only single node installation when VictoriaMetrics provide Cluster as well as Single Node. See more benefits on https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#prominent-features

As for vmagent - you can send metrics to VictoriaMetrics Single/Cluster without vmagent, I'm use it there because it can scrape metrics from other exporters like node_exporter and https://github.com/prometheus-pve/prometheus-pve-exporter .

FYI: https://victoriametrics.com/blog/graphite-query-language-opensource/ so users can use graphite/influx monitoring for PVE server with VictoriaMetrics open source Cluster or Single
