Prometheus Proxmox VE

[daschmidt1994]

Good evening,

I have the Prometheus Proxmox VE installed and config.
With the url http://192.168.178.203:9221/pve?target=192.168.178.188 I can see the metrics.
But when I add the config in the prometheus lxc:
- job_name: 'PVE' static_configs: - targets: ["192.168.178.203:9221"] metrics_path: /pve params: module: [default]

I get this error: Error scraping target: server returned HTTP status 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR

Because targets: ["192.168.178.203:9221"] is your server? In the url target is some other IP

[daschmidt1994]

192.168.178.203 is the ip where the Prometheus Proxmox VE Exporter LXC is running
192.168.178.188 is the ip from my proxmox host

When I have Prometheus Proxmox VE running I also have a LXC with promotheus where I add the scraper config

Would you mind sharing your pve.yml?

default: user: prometheus@pam token_name: "prometheus" token_value: "f71fd6c6-5c9c-4eb5-bcb1-edaa7c921c73" verify_ssl: false

Thank you. For some reason I can't get mine to even show the metrics.

@daschmidt1994 Here is my Prometheus Scrape Configuration that works as expected:

  # Prometheus Proxmox VE exporter
  - job_name: 'prometheus-proxmox-ve-exporter'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['192.168.178.61'] # Proxmox VE node
    metrics_path: /pve
    params:
      module: [default]
      cluster: ['1']
      node: ['1']
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: 192.168.178.62:9221  # PVE exporter

This one is documented here: https://github.com/prometheus-pve/prometheus-pve-exporter?tab=readme-ov-file#prometheus-configuration

@towerhand Here is my pve.yml that works as expected:

default:
  user: prometheus@pve
  password: "my-password"
  verify_ssl: false

This requires a user in Proxmox. Documented here: https://github.com/prometheus-pve/prometheus-pve-exporter?tab=readme-ov-file#prometheus-configuration

Does this help ?

[daschmidt1994]

I don't hade the relable_configs.

Thanks now it work like a charm

[towerhand]

@andygrunwald, that really helped. Thank you.
