Compute

Compute entries represent the workloads running on your hardware, such as virtual machines and containers.

They connect your physical devices to the services users actually consume.

Adding Compute

  1. Open Compute.
  2. Select Add Compute.
  3. Fill in the core fields.
  4. Save.

Recommended fields:

  • Name for easy identification
  • Type (VM or container)
  • Host hardware where it runs
  • Resource notes (CPU/memory summary)
  • Purpose of the workload

Proxmox Workloads & Clusters

If you configure a Proxmox API Integration within Settings, Circuit Breaker bridges the virtual-to-physical gap effortlessly. QEMU and LXC workloads discovered across the API are automatically mapped downward structurally to their respective host Hardware nodes.

Features unlocked during Proxmox Discovery include:

  • Per-VM & Container Pulse Stats: Inline rendering of VM CPU/memory/disk performance dynamically syncing directly to the front-end map.
  • Run State Inference: A transparent green/red halo indicating the live running or stopped condition of the workload directly over its topology icon.

Why Compute Mapping Matters

With compute mapped correctly, you can quickly answer:

  • Which services are affected if a host goes down?
  • Where should a service be moved during maintenance?
  • Which hosts are carrying the most critical workloads?
