Enable oVirt guest agent in CentOS 7 host

Posted on February 28, 2016 by Vitaly Posted in CentOS, Linux, Virtualization

 

Even though formally part of the linux kernel, you need to install and enable the ovirt-guest agent for proper polling of the machine.

 

lives in EPEL, good idea to install this for most updated packages unless you want to remain RH downstream only 
yum -y install epel-release 
#now install it (and dependencies) 
yum -y install ovirt-guest-agent 
#run it 
systemctl start ovirt-guest-agent.service 
#make it run on reboot 
systemctl enable  ovirt-guest-agent.service

Once active, you should now ssee the IP, FQDN, and more realtime stats in oVirt web manager.
