Examples

How it connects
What you need
- API token (recommended)No expiry and no session opened: the right choice for monitoring.
Network ports to open
8443/TCPAPI (HTTPS, default)
Setup steps: Create a read-only user and token in Proxmox Datacenter Manager
Open Configuration → Access Control → Users → Add, enter the user name dumbmonit with the realm pdm and no password, then click Add.
dumbmonit@pdmOpen Configuration → Access Control → API Tokens → Add, pick that user and name the token monitor. Copy the Secret now, it is shown only once.
dumbmonit@pdm!monitorOpen Configuration → Access Control → Permissions → Add → User Permission: path /, user dumbmonit@pdm, role Auditor.
Add a second permission with Add → API Token Permission: path /, token dumbmonit@pdm!monitor, role Auditor. A token has its own permissions, so both are needed.
In DumbMonit, enter the console address (for example dc.lan:8443), the Token ID and the Secret.
Heads-up. The console uses a self-signed certificate by default: tick "Accept an unverifiable certificate" in the options if the connection is refused.
