Description

Hey,

I implemented prometheus-pve-exporter in my proxmox server. But my entire monitoring is run in external cloud configuration. To provide one endpoint to scrape all metrics from all services run in proxmox in decided to use PushProx. The all configuration works quite well.. but I realised that when I use this this tool then I can not scrape metrics from extra endpoint /pve but i must use only endpoint /metrics.

It is possible to configure more endpoints to scrape metrics?

- job_name: "proxmox"
  proxy_url: <<http://A.B.C.D:XXX>>
  metrics_path: /metrics
  ...
  static_configs:
    - targets: [proxmox.local:9221]

when I tried change metrics_path to use /pve then it not works.. any Idea how I can fix this issue?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the PushProx setup with the Prometheus scrape configuration shown, comparing metrics_path: /metrics with /pve. Trace how PushProx handles the target path and confirm whether additional endpoints are supported. Done means establishing the supported behavior and documenting or implementing the required configuration for scraping /pve.
