In this blog post we’re going to walk you through how to monitor Proxmox VE via Managed VictoriaMetrics and its vmagent, including a step by step guide on how to set up, configure and visualise this environment. Proxmox VE is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform.

ARM processors become more popular and more cost-effective according to many benchmarks. One of them was made by Percona for MySQL. Some of our users reported issues with VictoriaMetrics at AWS Graviton instances. The main concerns were higher CPU and disk IO usage compared to x86 instances of the same size and for the same workload. By that time, we verified that VictoriaMetrics works fine for raspberry and IoT devices, but didn’t do any optimizations for ARM builds.
