PVE Exporter Documentation
PVE Exporter periodically collects monitoring data from the Proxmox VE HTTP API
and stores the latest values in the Prometheus registry exposed at /metrics.
Guides
- Configuration reference describes every YAML setting, API token permissions, and collector switch.
- Metrics reference lists exported metrics, labels, units, and numeric state mappings.
- Operations and troubleshooting covers native and container deployment, endpoint failover, logging, security, and common errors.
- Architecture and adding collectors explains the collection flow and how the main packages fit together.
Important behavior
- One exporter instance is intended for one standalone node or one PVE cluster.
- Multiple configured API hosts provide redundant access to that same cluster.
- Collection runs every
proxmox.intervalseconds independently of Prometheus scrapes. - Collector label sets that stop receiving updates are removed after five minutes.
- The only application HTTP endpoint is
/metrics.
