# VM Deployment Monitoring Summary

**Date**: 2025-12-13  
**Status**: 🟡 **MONITORING IN PROGRESS - AUTHENTICATION ISSUE DETECTED**

---

## Current Status

### Provider
- **Status**: Running (1/1 Ready)
- **Image**: crossplane-provider-proxmox:latest
- **Token Auth**: Detected in logs ("Using token authentication")
- **Issue**: Still getting "invalid PVE ticket" errors

### VMs
- **Total**: 30
- **Deployed in K8s**: 30
- **Created on Proxmox**: 0 (blocked by authentication errors)

---

## Issue Identified

### Authentication Errors
**Symptom**: "401 permission denied - invalid PVE ticket"  
**Frequency**: All node health checks failing  
**Impact**: VM creation blocked - cannot proceed past health check

### Root Cause Analysis
1. Token authentication is being detected in logs ✅
2. Token format appears correct: `tokenid=token` ✅
3. Cookie header implementation is correct ✅
4. But API calls still fail with "invalid PVE ticket" ❌

### Possible Causes
1. Token might be expired or invalid
2. Token permissions might be insufficient
3. Token format might need adjustment
4. Provider might not be using latest code (unlikely - pod restarted)

## Monitoring Commands

### Real-Time Monitoring
```bash
# Watch all VMs
kubectl get proxmoxvm -A -w

# Continuous monitor
./scripts/continuous-monitor.sh 30

# View provider logs
kubectl logs -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox -f
```

### Check Authentication Status
```bash
# Count authentication errors
kubectl logs -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox --since=5m | grep -i "invalid PVE ticket" | wc -l

# Check token authentication usage
kubectl logs -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox --since=5m | grep "Using token authentication" | wc -l
```

---

## Next Steps

1. ⚠️ **URGENT**: Fix token authentication issue
   - Verify token is valid and not expired
   - Check token permissions
   - Test token manually with curl
   - Verify token format is correct

2. Monitor VM creation once authentication is fixed
3. Verify VMs are being created on Proxmox
4. Post-deployment verification
