Hi,<br>
<br>
I appreciate your interest in PVE and the open source development.<br>
<br>
To point it out first
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Documentation">http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Documentation</a> may help you
somewhat.<br>
While it may look like a lot at the beginning after you initial
setup a machine (maybe an VM with nested Proxmox) building the
packages and changing something becomes easier, if your already have
basic development skills it helps you much.<br>
<br>
As you can read also in the last paragraph we need an contributor
agreement (it ensures that you hold the copyright of your work when
you contribute to the project, but we may use it for the project,
legal stuff).<br>
Contributing (especially to the first) to Open-source projects may
have, unfortunately, some initial troubles and a learning curve for
the standard tools (like git), don't let you scare from that.<br>
<br>
To be direct: The RRD stuff you proposed probably won't get into the
PVE upstream code.<br>
Although it's for sure a nice and cool feature there are already
tools out there which are much better for the job. PVE is more a
cluster framework, monitoring should be done by monitoring
frameworks.<br>
<br>
But we recently applied an new status plugin, so you could use
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://influxdb.com/">https://influxdb.com/</a> or also Graphite to gather all the
information, see nice graphs and timelines.<br>
<br>
But if you say, hey I do it my way, still post your changes (as a
patch), but don't be disappointed if they get rejected. :)<br>
<br>
Note, take this answer as an personal from me, not Proxmox or
affiliates.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Thomas<br>

<title>Extra Node Summary Information</title>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<p><font size="2">Hi there,<br>
<br>
I have never had anything to do with an open source project
before, so if I am doing something in the worng place, please
can somebody point me in the right direction.<br>
<br>
Fow a while now I have been using ipmitool on some Proxmox
boxes to collect temp and fan info and with my own service
logging it to an rrd db. With a few small changes to the
proxmox files (which I have to change after an upgrade) I can
see graphs in the interface.<br>
<br>
This works well on a single node setup, but in a cluster
obviously the status data does not get propergated to all
nodes.<br>
<br>
Whomever is in charge of what features are added, I would like
to try and add the ability for some extra status information
to be stored in an additional rdd db for each node with an
editable script defining how the data is collected. Hopefully
with diffent data being colledted per node and eventually have
it be able to be setup through the proxmox interface.<br>
<br>
I understand that I will have dicuss this in much greater
detail. I do not want step on anybodies toes or impede any
other develpment. So again, I hope this is the right place
for this and I apolagies in advance if it is not.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
