Proxmox Cluster Overview Test

To ascertain the needs of the infrastructure and to determine whether/not additional resources need to be added to the Proxmox Cluster to handle their current and anticipated load, administrators should keep track on the available resources on the cluster. This visibility is provided through the Proxmox Cluster Overview test. This test reports the count of nodes, VMs, users and groups available in the Proxmox Cluster. In the process, this test also pinpoints those VMs/containers that are currently running and stopped and the nodes that are currently online and offline.

Target of the test : A Proxmox Cluster

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Proxmox Cluster being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter Description

Test period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

The IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

Port

The port at which the specified host listens. By default, this will be NULL.

DD Frequency

Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.

Detailed Diagnosis

To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.
Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

Status

Indicates the current status of the cluster.

 

The values that this measure reports and their corresponding numeric values are detailed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
