Nodes List

Guide 2 min read

This page is the live Proxmox node inventory. It is written for the operator checking capacity before a sale.

Menu: Addons → Proxmox Suite → Nodes → Nodes List

Nodes list

Purpose

The list reads Active clusters only. It shows CPU, memory, disk, and guest counts. Nothing on this page is saved.

Intro: Live inventory of Proxmox nodes with CPU, memory, disk usage, and guest counts.

If there is no active cluster: No active clusters configured. Add a cluster under Nodes → Clusters List.

Filters

Field Type What it does
Cluster filter Select, submits on change All clusters, or one active cluster. Opening details for another cluster drops the detail panel.

Each cluster block shows Proxmox version and a node-count badge. An API error is a danger alert. A cluster that returns no nodes shows No nodes returned for this cluster.

Columns

Column What it shows
Node Node name, logical CPU count, and Proxmox level when present
Status Raw status. online is success styling; anything else is danger styling.
Uptime Formatted uptime
CPU, Memory, Disk Live usage bars. Memory and disk also show used and max.
Guests VM count and LXC count
Details Opens the node panel

Node details

Details loads one node. Close returns to the list and keeps the cluster filter. The panel is display-only.

It shows Node details, the cluster name, Role, status, Uptime, PVE version, VM, LXC, Resource utilization (CPU, Memory, Disk, and Swap when Proxmox reports it), Hardware (CPU model, Logical CPUs, CPU cores, CPU frequency), and Runtime (CPU, Load average, Proxmox version).

Example

After Health succeeds on a cluster, open Nodes List with All clusters. An online node with a memory bar means the token can read node status. Empty bars after a good health check usually mean the catalog or the node API call failed; read the danger alert on the cluster block.

Next step

Create a distribution policy once nodes are visible.
