Dear all,

recently i have deployed allot of small Proxmox VE Clusters which now have a need for Monitoring. I have used Influx and Grafana to monitor Containers and VM's in the past and was very surprised to see that the External Metric Server doesn't supply any Metrics about the Cluster status (eg if quorate, number of votes, ...) even though this data is available in the api (pvesh get /cluster/ha/status/current or pvesh get /cluster/ha/status/manager_status). After investigating the source a bit with my limited knowledge of perl i think that all needed librarys already exists and that one could with very low effort add this data to the External Metric Servers Metrics.

Is there a reason why these Metrics aren't exposed here or has this just been forgotten about?

Is this something that the Proxmox team could implement?

This would make the External Metric Server a good & simple option for Monitoring Clusters as nothing has to be installed on the Hosts themselves and its now Configurable via the GUI.

Thanks in advance
Samuel
