The Proxmox VE special agent now recognizes the tags you set on your VMs and LXC containers in Proxmox and exports them as Checkmk host labels.
Each tag becomes a host label of the form cmk/pve/tag/<tag>:yes, alongside
the existing cmk/pve/entity and cmk/pve/cluster labels. If a VM carries
several tags, you get one label per tag. You can then use these labels to
organize, filter, and target your Proxmox hosts in Checkmk based on the same
tagging scheme you already maintain in Proxmox.
This change does not affect existing setups: VMs without tags simply produce no tag labels, and no reconfiguration is required.
This feature is based on a community contribution to the comnetgmbh/proxmox_quick_setup extension.
