ProxMenux Monitor is a brand new web based dashboard for Proxmox VE, and in this video I walk through everything it offers. This is the latest release for the ProxMenux project and it brings real time monitoring for CPU, memory, storage, SMART health, network traffic, VMs, LXCs, hardware details, and system logs, all from a clean modern interface on port 8008. I show how to install it, how the dashboards work, and what limitations you should know about in this first release. If you want a free and powerful way to monitor your Proxmox home lab servers, this is one of the most exciting new tools of 2025.
