In debian I had also some issues, but I think by me the service was not running at all. But I had make this changes, and that helped me:

In: /etc/ovirt-guest-agent.conf

change this:

[virtio]
# device = /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm
device = /dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0

Than in: /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ovirt-guest-agent.rules

Put this:

SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0", OWNER="ovirtagent", GROUP="ovirtagent"

And then update:

udevadm trigger --subsystem-match="virtio-ports"

Maybe this helps.

Software Version:4.2.5.2-1.el7

Installed agent (1.0.14, from source) following this: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/guest-agent/install-the-guest-agent-in-ubuntu/
Some vm's run 1.0.13, but I have the same problem there.

On the vm running agent 1.0.14 nothing shows in "Applications". On vm's running 1.0.13 it shows "ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.13.dfsg-2".

Any suggestions?
