Resources

Real-time, cross-cluster inventory and operations on every kind of Proxmox VE resource: clusters, nodes, guests, storage, networks, disks, partitions and snapshots.

Features

  • Search

    Search box on Guests, Snapshots and other grids — filters across name, description, IP, hostname, tags simultaneously.

  • Card View

    On Guests and Storages, switch from grid to card layout for a glance-at-everything overview. Cards show health score, status badges, key metrics and the same quick actions as the grid.

  • Health Score

    Unified HealthScore indicator (badge or gauge) computed from CPU, memory, disk usage and resource type, with a contextual tooltip explaining the score.

  • Quick Actions

    Start, stop, restart, shutdown, snapshot or open a console directly from any row — without leaving the page.

  • Console Access

    Open NoVnc, Xterm.js or Spice console for nodes, VMs and containers from the resource view.

  • Cross-references

    Click a node name, VM ID, storage or snapshot to jump to its detail page; the cluster context is preserved automatically.

  • Network diagram

    The Networks → Diagram tab renders an interactive SVG topology of nodes, bridges, VNets and guests (powered by cv4pve-report) — savable for documentation.

Why

Why this view when PVE already shows resources per cluster?

Every cluster at once

PVE's UI is per-cluster. Resources lists VMs, nodes, storage and snapshots from every configured cluster in one filterable grid.

Filter, sort, group, search

RadzenDataGrid gives multi-column sort, grouping, column picker and free-text search — find that one VM with prod in tags across 200 across clusters.

Quick actions from the list

Start, stop, snapshot, open console without ever opening the per-VM page — straight from the row.

Network at a glance

The Networks tab gives bridges/bonds/SDN/diagram in one place — what PVE only shows split between per-node tabs.

Sections

  • Overview — high-level dashboard of clusters, nodes, guests and storage
  • Cluster — per-cluster summary with node counts, guest counts and resource roll-ups
  • Nodes — all cluster nodes with CPU/Memory/Disk usage, status, kernel, uptime, hostname
  • Guests — VMs and containers from every cluster, with running/stopped state, owner node, tags, IPs, lock state and quick actions (start/stop/console/snapshot)
  • Storages — storage definitions across the cluster, type, status, usage
  • Networks — tabbed view: Nodes (bridges/bonds) · Guests (per-VM NIC config) · SDN (zones, VNets) · Diagram (interactive SVG topology)
  • Disks — physical disks per node with model, size, S.M.A.R.T. health, vendor, Kind column (HDD / SSD / NVMe), wearout
  • Partitions — partitions and mount points (read via QEMU Guest Agent)
  • Snapshots — all snapshots in the cluster with creation date, description, parent, optional size on disk

Enterprise Additions

Enterprise enables extra columns and detail data on Guests and other grids:

  • Hostname — collected via QEMU Guest Agent, useful when the VM name and the in-guest hostname differ
  • OS Info — OS family, distribution and version
  • Additional widgets in the Dashboard feeding from Resources data

Console Limitations

Node console requires a PAM user

Node console (NoVnc, Xterm.js) requires the WEB API user to be a PAM user (e.g. root@pam). Users authenticated via other realms (PVE, LDAP, …) cannot open a node console because Proxmox VE requires OS-level authentication. The console button is disabled if the WEB API user is not a PAM user.

VM/CT console requires Credential authentication

VM and container console (QEMU, LXC) requires the WEB API to use Credential authentication (username/password). The console button is disabled when the WEB API is configured with API Token authentication, because Proxmox VE requires a user session to open a VM console.
