Proxmox Monitoring
Proxmox monitoring watches the virtualization host API and node state — because every VM alert is downstream of whether the hypervisor itself is answering.

Should VMs be monitored separately?
Yes — host checks prove the hypervisor answers; per-VM monitors (or agents inside guests) prove the workloads run. Both layers, different failures.
