ProxmoxVE Gui shows VM grey icon status (unknown)

[kerlerom]

after sometime (days) my ProxmoxVE shows that display : node and VMs are running properly but no status displayed anymore !

This issue can be fixed by restarting the ProxmoxVE server (but issue reappears after sometime...)

lsblk -f :


VE = 7.1-10



I couldn't any answer in the forums...
Does anybody face a similar issue ?
Many THX for your kindly help

Hello,

Does the pvedaemon service running? `systemctl status pvedaemon.service` do you check the journal/Syslog in your node in order to see if there is any interesting err message?

Hello
Thanks for your reply !
Right now, it is working properly (pvedaemon=active(running) ); I had to restart proxmox...
I am waiting the next failure...
Keep you informed.
THX

Hi, I am having same problem on my system occasionally,
I find that pvestatd crashed when icons grayed with question mark.
I am starting pvestatd with "systemctl start pvestatd" then statuses all become green...

 

[kerlerom]

Thx bigmehmet ! I will try your workaround (at least we avoid to restart the whole Proxmox..) But we don't know the root-cause so far...

Hello : the issue occured again (I applied systemctl start pvestatd successfully)
Anyway I get inside /var/log/syslog several times :


But later in the day I noticed :

This "proxmox kernel" fault ? could be the reason why pvestatd crashed ?
Have you ever seen this similar error in your syslog also ?
THX

I ran in to the same issue, but root cause was the metric server I added for testing was not reachable anymore and pvestatd failed because of that:

Dec 12 21:35:38 server pvestatd[1393]: lxc status update error: couldn't create carbon socket [k3s.network.local]:30209 - Connection refused
