Proxmox hookscript events

[ravczy]

I couldn't find any documentation or a comprehensive list of events for hook scripts online. Are there any other events besides pre/post start/stop that can be captured by a script?

Thank you in advance for the information or for providing a source of information

For an example and documentation see the example script under /usr/share/pve-docs/examples/guest-example-hookscript.pl.

I have read this documentation and I am relying on this sample file. I was thinking maybe there are more events that could be captured, like the creation of a virtual machine.

Nevertheless, thank you very much for the information.

This example file demonstrates the usage of events related to the start and stop of a virtual machine. Are there any other events that we can handle? For example, pre-migration. Is there a list of events supported by Proxmox available?

Currently, only the events listed in the example hook script are available. There are ideas of adding additional events in the future [1] [2] - you might want to chime in on the Bugzilla discussion. Patches for several kinds of hooks are currently on the mailinglist [3] [4], for instance.
