Events
The Events page provides a centralized, real-time log of all tasks and system events across your connected Proxmox nodes. Instead of checking each node individually, you can monitor everything from a single view.
Overview
ProxCenter aggregates events from all your PVE connections and displays them in a unified data grid with automatic polling every 30 seconds. The page includes summary statistics at the top and a filterable table below.
Summary Statistics
Four stat cards are displayed at the top of the page:
- Total -- Total number of events currently loaded
- Running -- Tasks currently in progress
- Warnings -- Events with warning level
- Errors -- Events with error level
Event Categories
Events are classified into two categories:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Task | Operations executed on Proxmox nodes (backups, migrations, VM start/stop, etc.) |
| Log | System log entries from the Proxmox cluster |
Event Levels
Each event has a severity level indicated by a color-coded chip:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Info | Informational events, normal operations |
| Warning | Non-critical issues that may require attention |
| Error | Failed operations or critical issues |
Event Statuses
Task events display a status indicator:
- Running -- Task is currently in progress
- OK -- Task completed successfully
- Warnings -- Task completed with warnings
- Failed -- Task did not complete successfully
Filtering
The Events page provides multiple filter options to help you find specific events:
- Search -- Free text search across message, node, entity, user, and action type
- Level -- Filter by severity (Error, Warning, Info)
- Type -- Filter by category (Tasks, Logs)
- Connection -- Filter by Proxmox connection name
Click Reset to clear all active filters and return to the default view.
Use the connection filter to quickly isolate events from a specific Proxmox cluster when troubleshooting issues.
Event Details
The data grid displays the following columns for each event:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Relative time since the event occurred (hover for exact timestamp) |
| Level | Severity level (info, warning, error) |
| Type | Category (task or log) |
| Action | The type of operation performed |
| Entity | The affected resource (VM, container, etc.) |
| Node | The Proxmox node where the event occurred |
| Status | Current task status |
| Duration | How long the task took to complete |
| User | The user who initiated the operation |
| Message | Detailed event description |
Task Detail Dialog
Double-click on any task row to open a detailed dialog with full task information and output logs. This is only available for events with the Task category.
Data Refresh
Events are automatically refreshed every 30 seconds via polling. You can also click the Refresh button in the top-right corner to manually reload the event list.
The Events page loads up to 500 of the most recent events. For historical event data beyond this limit, consider using the audit log in the Security section.
Availability
The Events page is available in all ProxCenter editions, including the Community edition. No special permissions are required to view events.
