Description

Use Case

Actually, the proxmox input plugin is only to gather VMs info, but do not give any informations about the cluster state.

Reporting the quorum state and stats about votes, etc... would help to create alerts.

Expected behavior

Reporting VMs stats + quorum state (and probably some other stats)

Actual behavior

Reporting VMs stats

Additional info

No response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research the Proxmox API for cluster quorum information and examine the existing proxmox input plugin in Telegraf to understand how VM metrics are gathered. Then implement a similar pattern to fetch and report quorum status metrics.
