v4.8.0-rc.2 - VM Disk Monitoring Documentation (NOT a fix)

on GitHub

What's Changed in v4.8.0-rc.2

⚠️ IMPORTANT: VM Disk Monitoring Still Not Fixed

VM disk usage showing 0% is NOT resolved in this release. This RC only improves error messages and documentation to help users understand why it's not working:

• Proxmox 9: Cannot be fixed by Pulse. This is a Proxmox API limitation (bug #1373) where API tokens cannot access guest agent data. Only workaround is using root@pam credentials.
• Proxmox 8: If you added nodes before v4.7, re-run the setup script to add VM.Monitor permission
• All versions: QEMU guest agent must be installed and running in VMs

What This Release Actually Does

Documentation & Diagnostics:

• Clearer error messages explaining why VM disk monitoring fails
• Updated FAQ with troubleshooting steps
• Better guidance in setup scripts for each Proxmox version
• Corrected misleading advice about token privilege separation

Other Fixes Since v4.8.0-rc.1:

• Fixed install script menu selection when piped through curl
• Fixed RC version detection in install script
• Applied security headers to enable iframe embedding
• Improved network bridge detection during installation
• Storage pool display now shows available space in GB
