Proxmox graphing

LibreNMS creates graphs of the Proxmox VMs on your monitored machines. It creates only traffic graphs, one for each interface of each VM. IO graphs can come later.

The final goal is a traffic bill for each VM, on any physical machine.

Enabling Proxmox graphs

To enable the Proxmox graphs, do these steps:

In config.php, enable Proxmox:

$config['enable_proxmox'] = 1;

Then install git and librenms-agent on the Proxmox machines. Then enable the Proxmox script:

cp /opt/librenms-agent/agent-local/proxmox /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/proxmox
chmod +x /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/proxmox

Then enable and start the check_mk service with systemd:

cp /opt/librenms-agent/[email protected] /opt/librenms-agent/check_mk.socket /etc/systemd/system
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable check_mk.socket && systemctl start check_mk.socket

Then enable the librenms-agent flag and the proxmox application flag on the monitored device in LibreNMS. The application then appears in LibreNMS. A new item also appears in the top menu. This item selects the cluster to view.

Note, if you want to use use xinetd instead of systemd

xinetd can start the librenms-agent in place of systemd. One use case is an old Proxmox installation. Install the librenms-agent, as above. Then copy and enable the xinetd config. Then restart the xinetd service:

cp check_mk_xinetd /etc/xinetd.d/check_mk
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
