Proxmox server monitoring
Proxmox server monitoring
Hey everyone
I've got an old Mac Mini running Proxmox, right now all it has is a LXC for Plex and a Debian VM for Docker (OpenVPN/Transmission and Screeps server).
What is everyone's preferred monitoring solution?
I'm mostly interested in getting easy access to syslogs, seeing CPU/RAM/Disk space for the Proxmox host, VM and LXC. I have a Mac app called Daisy Disk that shows me all my data on my disk in a nice UI, something with similar capability would be great.
I randomly installed Netdata, didn't love it. Ran into issues with Cockpit and gave up, but I'd try it again if it's considered the best. But I'd love to hear options, preferably with minimal setup and maintenance (wish is probably wishful thinking). Don't hate Proxmox VE, but I feel like I can do better.

Netdata for me, it reports stats and metrics for VMs and containers too, automatically, and it's easy to install in Proxmox.
Netdata can also expose metrics to prometheus which you can then use in Grafana for more advanced/customizable dashboards https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/exporting-metrics/prometheus
@yamdwich can netdata be self hosted?
Yes, it has a local webui by default. You don't have to connect it to their cloud, though I do because it's free and lets me get notifications if something goes offline.
