Problems with a poxmox VM and snmp

[holmis]

Hello.

I have no idea if this is a Proxmox problem or not...

I have a VM with two (+EFI) disks and my problem is that when "smtp probing" this vm using oid 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4 (hrStorageAllocationUnits) it gives the result "0" for the second disk. This means I get no usable result... If I create a new one VM disk, I get a non zero number (4096 to be precise). It's a problem because I would like to monitor the usage of this "second" disk and I REALLY don't want to transfer the data to a new VM-disk.

Any input would be appreciated!

Regards,
Åke

Why not use a regular external monitoring system (icinga/nagios/grafana/centreon/ etc ...) with mon-checks and daemon inside your vm ?

I am using Cacti with snmpd on the VM:s.

This turned out to be a permission problem. Snmpd was not allowed to access the mount point...
