Cluster Management Skill

Monitor and manage your Proxmox VE cluster infrastructure and node health.

What this skill does

This skill enables you to:

• View all nodes in the Proxmox cluster
• Monitor node status and health
• Track cluster resources and utilization
• Analyze node performance metrics
• Monitor cluster quorum status
• Plan cluster scaling and expansion
• Identify resource bottlenecks
• Generate cluster health reports

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Check overall cluster status
• Monitor node health and performance
• Verify cluster quorum
• Plan resource allocation
• Troubleshoot node issues
• Analyze cluster capacity
• Generate infrastructure reports
• Plan cluster upgrades or maintenance

Available Tools

• get_nodes - List all nodes in the cluster
• getnodestatus - Get detailed status of a specific node
• getclusterresources - Get all cluster resources (nodes, VMs, containers)

Typical Workflows

Cluster Health Check

1. Use getclusterresources for overall cluster status
2. Use get_nodes to list all nodes
3. Use getnodestatus for each node to check health
4. Generate cluster health report

Node Monitoring

1. Use get_nodes to list all cluster nodes
2. Use getnodestatus to check individual node performance
3. Monitor CPU, memory, and storage metrics
4. Identify performance issues

Capacity Planning

1. Use getclusterresources to analyze current usage
2. Use getnodestatus for detailed node metrics
3. Project growth and identify bottlenecks
4. Plan scaling or upgrades

Example Questions

• "Show me the status of all cluster nodes"
• "Is the cluster healthy and properly configured?"
• "What's the resource utilization across the cluster?"
• "Which nodes have capacity issues?"
• "Get a complete cluster infrastructure report"
• "Are there any offline or degraded nodes?"
• "What's the cluster quorum status?"

Response Format

When using this skill, I provide:

• Complete list of cluster nodes with status
• Node health and performance metrics
• Cluster resource overview and utilization
• Quorum and cluster configuration status
• Recommendations for optimization

Best Practices

• Monitor cluster health regularly
• Maintain proper node quorum (3+ nodes recommended)
• Balance resource allocation across nodes
• Plan maintenance during off-hours
• Test cluster failover scenarios
• Keep all nodes updated
• Monitor network connectivity between nodes
• Document cluster configuration changes
