openITCOCKPIT 5.6.0 released

12.06.2026

openITCOCKPIT version 5.6.0 has been released! Packed with new features, such as support for Proxmox VE, a new parent-child relationship tree, support for the latest Linux distributions, security updates and much more.

Import Module: Proxmox VE

The Import Module now supports Proxmox VE as a data source. This allows you to easily import all virtual machines and LXC containers from Proxmox VE into openITCOCKPIT for monitoring. openITCOCKPIT will automatically create services for all VMs and containers to keep an eye on CPU, memory, disk usage (LXC only), network traffic and more. No modifications or agents are required as openITCOCKPIT will use the Proxmox API to query all the necessary data.

In addition, hosts that are imported from Proxmox, will have a new Tab in the host details view named Proxmox VE. This tab will provide an overview of the VM or container and provides access to actions such as start, stop, restart. It is also possible to create or rollback snapshots, as well as to open the Proxmox VE web interface directly from openITCOCKPIT.

Please see the docs for more details: https://docs.openitcockpit.io/en/configuration/import-module/#proxmox-ve
