- time zone
- active users

Comment 1 Petr Matyáš 2018-03-19 10:06:39 UTC

Can you please provide feature page or proper description of this feature so I can consider making a test plan.

guest-agent communication is described here:
https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/master/doc/guest-agent.md

The test should focus on the new information being reported when ovirt-ga is NOT running anymore, and those are provided by the qemu-ga instead

Comment 3 Tomáš Golembiovský 2018-04-03 15:09:32 UTC

adding NIC address reporting

Comment 4 Petr Matyáš 2018-04-16 11:43:34 UTC

Using vdsm-4.20.25-1.el7ev (and qemu-guest-agent-2.8.0-2.el7.x86_64)

The only thing that is reported to webadmin (and visible in RESTAPI) is the NIC, neither hostname nor TZ, OS, active user info is reported.

Comment 6 Petr Matyáš 2018-04-16 11:47:44 UTC

Maybe also reporting local IPv4 and v6 addresses is not the best idea. At least I don't think I can connect to that particular machine with IP 127.0.0.1.

Comment 7 Tomáš Golembiovský 2018-04-16 12:52:44 UTC

From vdsm.log it seems you have older version of QEMU-GA. You need at least 2.10 or newer.

Comment 10 Petr Matyáš 2018-04-17 14:39:09 UTC

Moving back to MODIFIED as we don't have qemu-guest-agent-2.10 on RHEL yet.

Comment 11 Petr Matyáš 2018-05-04 13:39:12 UTC

Verified on vdsm-4.20.27.1-1.el7ev.x86_64 using RHEL7 with qemu-guest-agent-2.12.0-1.el7.x86_64

IP, FQDN, OS, TZ and active user is reported
