🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Proxmox Machine Power Consumption UI

📝 Detailed description

Hi All,

Now sure the feasibility of this, but I guess many would be happy to have a UI/Exporter for the power consumption of the Proxmox machine (not VMs, but machine itself).

I had a research and I notices is everything but easy to obtain, but many some of you have some idea.

I try to open this topic, maybe is utopistic, but who knows.

Andrea

💡 Why is this useful?

Many of the users use this scripts for self hosted racks at home and I believe would be very useful for many to know the power consumption (in Watt or other ways) of their machines.
If the system has an exporter (for Prometheus/Grafana) would unleash the possibilities for integration for many users.

Proxmox itself don't track power consumption. If your server has IPMI (Supermicro, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.) then you can use ipmitool to get such metric.

There is a exporter for Prometheus for ipmi

Hi @tremor021 ,

Yes, I know. That was the feature request about. Maybe with a plugin can be added? Not sure. Just asking.
@MickLesk I would guess inside a VM/LXC is impossible to know this. Isn't it?

since some releases he have "agent" and "host-agent" in the release files, idk what they do. But maybe it is the right?

Thanks @MickLesk for the ping!

Hi Andrea, I just added power consumption monitoring to Pulse!

It reads power data from:

Intel RAPL (/sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl/) - Works on most Intel CPUs since Sandy Bridge
AMD Energy (amd_energy kernel module) - For AMD Ryzen/EPYC

Reports CPU package, core, and DRAM power in watts. This will be in the next release.

If you're looking for a Proxmox monitoring solution that includes temps, fans, disk health, and now power consumption - feel free to check it out!

Cheers 🎄

@rcourtman this is insane! Thanks!!!

Can you also point out a guide or advise me (or anyone who is gonna read this) about how to expose those values to the LXC/VM from the host machine?

Thanks so much for your work!
