On Proxmox PVE boot, must restart pvestatd or no names in GUI

[jonny5]

I have to restart the pvestatd service every Proxmox PVE boot/reboot

So far I do not know why, but once I restart the service then all the metrics/GUI works just fine and you can the VM names & etc

Upgraded to 8.4, no change, and I even have a root crontab which does not resolve this:

@reboot /bin/sleep 40 && service pvestatd restart

To resolve I must ssh in, 'service pvestatd restart' and then in a few seconds everything works again

Hi,
please share the system journal for a boot before you ran the restart command. E.g. journalctl -b would be the current boot, you can add numbers like journalctl -b-2 to indicate earlier boots. Do you have any special storages configured that might not be reachable during boot, but only become available later? Is the metric server reachable during boot? E.g. network storage, but you use a VM as the firewall or similar.
