Oddly enough, on Ubuntu 16.04 I had similar issues, but different outputs.  The "fix" for me was pretty much the same.  The oddest part was that apt reported that python-ethtool was on version 0.11-3.  I removed it and installed via a deb file anyways.

sudo apt-get remove python-ethool  (even though reporting 0.11-3, this also remove ovirt-guest-agent)
wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-ethtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent
sudo systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent.service
sudo systemctl status ovirt-guest-agent.service (now reports as active (running)!)

Actually just got it working.

17.04 seems to have version .12-1 of python-ethtool.
I simply removed it and the ovirt agent

sudo apt-get remove python-ethtool

And then I found the same version of python-ethtool on my 16.04 ubuntu server (0.11-3) and found a deb file for it:

wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-ethtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb
dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb

and the reinstalled ovirt
sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent

The GUI is now giving me memory and CPU and indicating that everything is up to date!

It is a bug that is also present in 16.04.  The log directory in /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent  has the wrong user (or permission) It should have ovirtagent   as user and group.

I am having trouble getting the ovirt agent working on Ubuntu 17.04 (perhaps it just isnt there yet)

Currently I have two test machines a 16.04 and a 17.04 ubuntu servers.


On the 17.04 server:
Currently isntalled:
ovirt-guest-agent (1.0.12.2.dfsg-2), and service --status-all reveals a few virtualization agents:
 [ - ]  open-vm-tools
 [ - ]  ovirt-guest-agent
 [ + ]  qemu-guest-agent

I can't seem to start ovirt-guest-agent
sudo service ovirt-guest-agent start/restart does nothing

Running  sudo systemctl status ovirt-guest-agent.service

sudo systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent.service
Also does not seem to do antyhing.

So perhaps the ovirt-guest-agent is broken for Ubuntu 17.04?


On the 16.04 Server I have:
Took some fiddling, but I eventually got it working
