Proxmox-Status

A bash script to gather system metrics like temperatures and ARC utilization that are missing from the Proxmox UI.

Sample

Setup

1. The install script adds 3 packages and expects you to be on Proxmox, a Debian-based system. It adds screenfetch lm-sensors and smartmontools. If you are okay with this, run ./installpkgs.sh and follow the instructions printed at the end of the script
2. Copy config.sample.sh to config.sh
3. Edit config.sh and replace the example variables with your system's disk and CPU names
   3.1 Configure Disks - For ZFS users, you should be able to run sudo zfs status and see the name for each disk in your zpool that refers to its /dev/disk/by-id/ path. You can leave the disk arrays empty or omit them entirely if you don't have mechanical drives or Optane drives, for example
   3.2 Configure CPU - If you installed lm-sensors in step 1, you'll be able to run sensors and find the name of your CPU. My Ryzen 3700X is shown in a comment in the sample config as k10temp-pci-00c3 and the cpu_temp_awk_print_fmt is a format string which picks the second word in the example. It runs the format string on the line with the matching cpu_temp_field_label, Tdie for the temperature of the CPU die in my case.
   3.3 Configure Screenfetch - If you did not install screenfetch or do not want to see it at the top of the status output, set show_screenfetch to false
4. There are some aspects of the status which are implicitly configured.
   4.1 APC UPS Users - If you are on an APC brand UPS and have apcupsd installed with a USB serial connection to the UPS, it can read the status of you battery and show current draw in Watts and as a percentage of its VA rating. It will also show time remaining in the event of a power outage.
   4.2 ZFS Users - arcstats.sh determines if you have an arcstats file on your system, and whether you have a SLOG or L2ARC, then shows additional details for them if possible.
5. Test by running ./status.sh and checking that the output shows all of your disks, CPU temp, and ARC stats correctly
