 # ProxMon
 
-Basic idea:
-    Use the following PS command to gather basic data on processes:
-    ps ax -o pid,ppid,tgid,uid,lxc,cuu,rss,times,etimes,stat,command --cols 1000
+  
 
-    Use resident size as an approximation of real memory usage.
+Prometheus exporter that monitors LXC, process and node metrics for Proxmox. This is comprised of two components:
+ 1. node-exporter
+	 - Publicly available "node exporter" from Prometheus. This provides a wide range of system metrics, and by default serves metrics on port 9100.
+	 - Pre-built binary in this repo for ease of installation.
+	 - Configuration details can be found [here](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter).
+ 2. proxmon
+	 - Provides supplemental metrics that node-exporter does not provide, and by default serves metrics on port 9101.
+	 - Metrics include resource usage on a per-LXC and per-process basis.
 
-    Use CPU utilization may need to be divided by CPU count
+Also included is a Grafana dashboard tailored to the data exported by both components above.
 
-Structure of each entry:
-    _id: unique ID of data point
-    time: time sample was taken
-    node: Node of process
-    host: Host name
-    hostType: Type of host ('node', 'lxc', 'vm')
+# Installation
+**NOTE**: This is intended to be run on the host system. However, it is probably possible to run it in an LXC. This would require you to bind-mount the ```/proc``` directory of the pve node into the LXC, and point both node-exporter and proxmon components to read from the bind-mounted directory instead of the default ```/proc``` directory of the LXC. Aside from that, the installation process should be the same.
+
+### Install steps on any PVE node you wish to monitor:
+ 1. Install git if you don't have it already
+	```apt install git```
+ 2. Create a directory for ProxMon to live
+    ```mkdir /home/monitor```
+	**NOTE**: This does not create a new user. This guide does not include configuring the service to run under a different user, and will by default run it under root. See **Customizing Services**.
+ 3. ```cd /home/monitor```
+ 4. ```git clone https://git.cozyclan.xyz/dan/ProxMon.git```
+ 5. ```cd ProxMon```
+ 6. If you wish to configure the services in any way, such as running them as a new user (note on step 2) or editing the port they use, skip the remaining steps and go to the **Customizing Services** section.
+ 7. Run ```make install```
+ 8. Verify services are running: 
+    ```systemctl status node-exporter.service```
+    ```systemctl status proxmon-exporter.service```
+ 9. Congratulations, you're done. Go to the **Connecting** section.
+
+## Customizing Services
+The Makefile has various build targets that can be used for finer control over the installation process. A full list of targets can be viewed with ```make help```.
+
+ 1. Build proxmon: ```make build```. This will place the executables in the ```bin/``` folder, and generate template service files in the ```systemd/``` directory.
+ 2. Edit the service files in the ```systemd/``` directory to enable node-exporter features or change the ports of the components. If you would like to run these as non-root users, [ask ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/share/6830a1d9-5fe0-8012-abdd-076e78a12067).
+ 3. Install the service files: ```make install-services```. This will copy the service files from ```systemd/``` into ```/etc/systemd/system``` and will start the services in systemd. You can also use ```make reinstall-services``` if you have already installed the services and want to install updated versions of the service files.

+# Connecting
+
+## Prometheus
+ 0. Install Prometheus if you haven't already with the [Prometheus Helper Script](https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=prometheus). Save the web URL displayed at the end of the setup script.
+ 1. Open your Prometheus LXC console.
+ 2. Edit the file ```/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml```
+ 3. Under ```scrape_configs``` add the following job. You can edit the job_name as you wish. Set the IP address in the targets to the IP of  the host you wish to scrape data from.
+ 4. You can also edit the polling rates in the yml file. 
+```
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: "node"
+    static_configs:
+    - targets: ['<HOST_IP>:9100', '<HOST_IP>:9101']
+```
+ 5. Restart prometheus: ```systemctl restart prometheus.service```
+
+## Grafana
+ 0. Install Grafana if you haven't already with the [Grafana Helper Script](https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=grafana). Save the web URL displayed at the end of the setup script.
+ 1. Login to the Grafana web interface provided at the end of the helper script
+ 2. On the left side, go to ```Connections->Add new connection```. 
+ 3. Search for and click on "Prometheus".
+ 4. Click ```Add new data source``` in the top right.
+ 5. Under ```Connection``` and ```Prometheus server URL``` paste in the web URL of your Prometheus server listed at the end of the Prometheus Helper Script.
+ 6. On the left side, go to ```Dashboards```
+ 7. In the top right, click ```New->Import```
+ 8. Copy the contents of ```Proxmox-Dashboard.json``` from this git repository, and paste it into the text field. 
+ 9. Click ```Import```
