Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana (Testing still in progress)

First create auser on proxmox

Next setup group permissions

next setup an api token

copy your api token

create a pve.yml file and place in /etc/prometheus/pve.yml

default:
        user: prometheus@pve
        token_name: "exporter"
        token_value: e34d851e-c847-47c1-a6e1-9082347bc5cd
        verify_ssl: false
