RHEA-2020:0501 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated ovirt-guest-agent packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available.

Description

The ovirt-guest-agent allows the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to receive internal guest events and retrieve information such as the IP address and list of installed applications from the guest. Additionally the guest agent allows the Manager to execute specific commands, such as shut down or reboot, on guest virtual machines.

Changes to the ovirt-guest-agent component:

• To avoid overloading the journal log, in this release, oVirt Guest Agent no longer attempts to query the list of containers on machines without Docker. (BZ#1779160)
