## What it is
A Prometheus exporter that collects metrics from Proxmox VE clusters and nodes via the Proxmox API and exposes them over HTTP for scraping. It is written in Python and installable via pip or Docker.

## Use cases
- monitor proxmox ve cluster with prometheus
- export proxmox node metrics to prometheus
- scrape vm and container resource usage from proxmox
- monitor proxmox backups and replication status
- set up prometheus monitoring for my homelab hypervisor
- collect proxmox cluster health metrics

## When to choose
- you run Proxmox VE and use Prometheus for monitoring
- you need metrics on nodes, guests, cluster status, backups, or subscriptions from Proxmox
- you want a lightweight pip or Docker deployable exporter

## When to avoid
- you use a different hypervisor like VMware or libvirt
- you don't use Prometheus or a compatible metrics scraper
- you need to expose metrics on a public network without additional security measures

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, http-server
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: python, self-hosted
