Introduction

Since Proxmox VE 4.0, it's possible to send metrics stats (host,vms,storage) to external metrics servers in addition to embedded Proxmox VE rrd graphs.

Currently supported:

You can generate graphs && dashboard with grafana: http://grafana.org/

Graphite plugin configuration

create a file /etc/pve/status.cfg

graphite:
      server yourgraphiteserver.fqdn
      port 2003
      path proxmox

Your graphite carbon server need to listen to udp

Influxdb 0.9 plugin configuration

create a file /etc/pve/status.cfg

influxdb:
      server yourinfluxdbserver.fqdn
      port 8089


You need to configure your influxdbserver to listen to an udp port. In this example we defined port 8089 with a database "proxmox"

influxdb.conf (on your influxdb server)

[[udp]]
  enabled = true
  bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8089"
  database = "proxmox"
  batch-size = 1000
  batch-timeout = "1s"
