Hello everyone,


Yesterday, our server rebooted normally after a blackout around 06:00 PM, and everything seemed fine.


However, while checking the logs today, I noticed a QMP communication issue that occurred between 04:00 AM and 05:00 AM. The error message was:


VM 111 qmp command failed - VM 111 qmp command 'query-proxmox-support' failed - unable to connect to VM 111 qmp socket - timeout after 51 retries

After 05:10 AM, this issue no longer appeared in the logs, which makes me think it resolved itself.


I checked the logs using:


journalctl -u pvestatd -f

Then, I manually tested QMP communication with:


echo '{"execute": "qmp_capabilities"}' | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/qemu-server/111.qmp

The response was successful, indicating that QMP is now working fine:


{"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 2, "minor": 0, "major": 9}, "package": "pve-qemu-kvm_9.0.2-4"}, "capabilities": []}}
{"return": {}}

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Should I take any further action, or is it safe to just leave it as is?


Thanks in advance!
