Have you tried the proxmox exporter? I have tried it briefly for a grafana lab and it seemed pretty good.
Comment on How do you monitor your servers / VPS:es?

Prometheus for metrics
Loki for logs
Grafana for dashboards.
I use node exporter for host metrics (Proxmox/Cams/SFFs/RaspPis/Router) and a number of other *exporters:
- exportarr
- plex-exporter
- unifi-exporter
- bitcoin node exporter
I use the OpenTelemetry collector to collect some of the above metrics, rather than Prometheus itself, as well as docker logs and other log files before shipping them to Prometheus/Loki.
Oh, I also scrape metrics from my Traefik containers using OTEL as well.

I haven’t, but it looks like I’ve got another exporter to install and dashboard to create 😁

If you want to run the exporter without docker (like I did) and you get problems with installing the exporter try using this guide: github.com/…/PVE-Exporter-on-Proxmox-VE-Node-in-a…

What does having OpenTelemetry improve? I have a setup similar to yours but data goes from Prometheus to Grafana and I never thought I would need anything else.

Not a whole lot to be honest. But I work with OpenTelemetry everyday for my day job, so it was a little exercise for me.
Though, OTEL does have some advantages in that It is a vendor agnostic collection tool. allowing you to use multiple different collection methods and switch out your backend easily if you wish.
