Describe the feature

Possible to add the vm names

under the Backup servers -> Reports -> Summary and Inventory tabs? The column heading is already called "name", so would assume it should list the vm names.

Use Case

Clarity on viewing and reports

Alternatives considered

Yes, not really viable - manual

How important is this for you?

Would be beneficial to all.

  Similar to enhancement request [Feature] Use VM Names and not just VMID #339

[mkellermann97]

Hey @blackshocks — thanks for filing, and right call referencing #339, this is the same shape.

The PBS API doesn't currently return VM names in its backup / snapshot listing — only the VMID. PegaProx's Reports → Summary / Inventory tabs render whatever PBS returns, which is why the "Name" column ends up showing the VMID. We can't surface a name field that the upstream Proxmox API doesn't deliver to us.

Closing as not-planned, same reasoning as #339: this needs Proxmox (PBS) to add VM-name passthrough to the snapshot-metadata endpoint upstream. Once that lands on the PBS side, the column will pick the name up automatically — no PegaProx change required at that point.

If you want to push for it on the upstream side, the Proxmox forum is the right venue for a PBS feature request.

https://opencollective.com/pegaprox if any of the surrounding work earns its keep.
