# Proxmox Exporter
## Purpose
The Proxmox exporter exposes Proxmox metrics to Prometheus.
It can be used to monitor:
- Proxmox node health
- VM and container status
- Storage usage
- Cluster resources
- CPU and memory usage
---
## Recommended Metrics
| Metric Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Node Status | Verify Proxmox nodes are online |
| VM Status | Track virtual machines |
| Storage | Monitor pool and disk usage |
| CPU | Detect high compute usage |
| Memory | Detect memory pressure |
| Cluster | Monitor HA and quorum health |
---
## Security Notes
Do not commit real Proxmox tokens, usernames, passwords, or secrets to GitHub.
Use environment variables or a local `.env` file.
The `.env` file should be included in `.gitignore`.
