PROX006 - Proxmox Request Failed

Agent error code #PROX006 indicates that a request to the Proxmox VE API failed at the network layer for a reason the agent could not classify more specifically. This is the catch-all transport error for Proxmox.

If the agent could identify the cause it would return a more specific code instead: timeout (#PROX002), TLS error (#PROX003), connection refused (#PROX004), or DNS failure (#PROX005).

Common causes include:

• A transient network interruption between the agent and Proxmox
• The connection was reset mid-request
• An unusual proxy or middlebox on the path interfering with the connection

Steps to Resolve

Confirm Connectivity

1. From the host running the Knocknoc agent, confirm the Proxmox web UI loads at the configured URL
2. Confirm the network path between the agent and Proxmox is stable
3. Retry the operation. If the failure was transient it should clear on the next grant

Review the Agent Logs

The agent log records the underlying transport error with full detail. Review it to identify the specific network condition.

For more details, see the Proxmox setup guide.
