Proxmxo External Metric Server - list and explanation of metrics

[Florian Beer]

Hi,
I am in the process of re-organizing my Proxmox Grafana dashboard and would like to display some storage metrics, similar to what's shown in Proxmox's "Summary" screen:


Where can I find a list of all the metrics that get written to InfluxDB/Graphite and their explanation, so I can identify the ones I need for my graph?

Same question here! Is there any documentation for these metrics?

not yet, but it might be a nice first-time contribution

@Florian Beer: I found a very nice Grafana dashboard template that uses many of the mentioned metrics. I just adapted it to my needs.

For anyone else that stumbles on this thread:
There is more up-to-date documentation in the git repository itself on the master branch.
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/External_Metric_Server does not reflect this.

git clone https://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-docs.git
cat ./pve-docks/pve-external-metric-server.adoc
