Has anyone used agent external parameters/scripts to pull info for guest VMs from Proxmox VE?  Just starting to think about how to do this.

I see they have a documentation website for their REST-like api which it looks like you can call from a CLI tool called pvesh which might work well with the agent external parameter?

Hi,

Old thread I know, but did you make any progress with this?

I've heard of two approaches - via web api and using pvesh command line utility. Both can be used - web services are supported in NXSL and there's now external data provider in agent that can parse json data (and pvesh provides json output). https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/agent-management.html#externaldataprovider

I'd suggest you to check what data proxmox provides via these two interfaces, as these may differ and also may depend on proxmox's version. I can help with template developing, specifically with instance discovery part.
