Cluster Management Skill

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
• get_node_status - Get detailed status of a specific node
• get_cluster_resources - Get all cluster resources (nodes, VMs, containers)

Typical Workflows

Cluster Health Check

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

Node Monitoring

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

Capacity Planning

1. Use get_cluster_resources to analyze current usage
2. Use get_node_status 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
