"Steal time is the amount of CPU time needed by a guest virtual machine that is not provided by the host. Steal time occurs when the host allocates these resources elsewhere: for example, to another guest. "

It is possible to monitor steal time in guest, in case of linux using for example using "top" utility.
But my question is, how it is possible monitor this metric from host system (pve)? It is quite important metric when running more virtual machines, but I can not find any tool how measure it from kvm host.

More details about this metric (in vmware world called cpu ready) you can read here https://appuals.com/cpu-ready-silent-hypervisor-killer/
