Hi, i'm monitoring my proxmox backup server with zabbix and this template: https://github.com/nikosch86/zabbix-proxmox-backup-server.

I've an alert about tasks , the api return this:

JSON:
[{"user":"root@pam","worker_id":null,"status":"unknown","endtime":1739754666,"node":"localhost","starttime":1739754666,"upid":"UPID:p1b-pbs01:0023ADDB:43A6A92A:00000000:67B28CAA:aptupdate::root@pam:","worker_type":"aptupdate","pid":2338267,"pstart":1134995754},

also from the task list from the gui:

Is it expected to give Status Unknown? if i run "apt upgrade" from shell i have no errors:

If it can be useful same status happen also for certificate renewal, but started after novembre 2024

Task viewer output is empty.

We have enable rsyslog to send syslog to external SOC application, could this be the problem?

Hi,
there was a bug fixed by this commit https://git.proxmox.com/?p=proxmox-backup.git;a=commit;h=c6600acf0b6aae222e58388e41be0ba497e36f19.

The proxmox-backup-server in version 3.3.3-1 will contain the fix, that version is at the time of writing only available in the pbstest repository, see https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#proxmox-backup-test-repository
Thank you very much, so it seems something related to syslog as i suspected.

We'll wait to be in the enterprise repo.
Thanks
