Hello, I have a problem with the Proxmox UI ... as you can see in the attached image both the VM/LXC names and statuses and the system resources graphs are not callable. I have unfortunately not found on the internet, but also did not know what to look for explicitly ... maybe someone here can help me :)
After a reboot everything is normal for one or two days, then there are the problems mentioned.

EDIT: systemctl restart pvestatd helps .... but the problem occurs frequently

You should check the syslog or journal for error messages that might tell you what isn't working and why. For example journalctl -u pvestatd

The journal shows the following:

Code:
May 16 17:39:36 pve systemd[1]: pvestatd.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV
May 16 17:39:36 pve systemd[1]: pvestatd.service: Failed with result 'signal'.

This is the syslog output at this time, the arcticle doesn't really help me ...

There are two main choices: your specific configuration uncovered a rare latent bug in software or you have an issue with hardware.
When reporting an issue with software it is always helpful to provide software versions: pveversion -v

I have a Z590 Mainboard with a i5 11400. I recently upgraded my RAM (not the same sticks) with some problems (BIOS reset several times). I'll go back to the original configuration and see if that's the problem.
