A new pre-release of our guest agent prototype written in Rust is available, numbered 0.3.0 [1]. Identified issues and work to be done are tracked in Gitlab issue tracker [2].
As always, feedback will be greatly appreciated! Highlights: ### new features * available and total guest memory are now collected in FreeBSD guests * command-line flags `--stderr` and `--loglevel` were added to help troubleshooting ### behavior changes * logs are now sent to syslog by default on Unix-like OS ### bugfixes * the agent does not require the `libxenstore.so` symlink typically coming from Xen development package, only the runtime library package is now required * VIF hot(un)plug is now properly handled ### other noteworthy changes * executables and packages for supported guest platforms (currently Linux/Glibc and FreeBSD, both for x86_64 guests) are now available from Gitlab CI pipelines * APT repositories (though not signed) are now available from Gitlab CI pipelines * CI pipelines now testbuilds every commit in a merge request [1] https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/releases/0.3.0 [2] https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/issues Yann Dirson | Vates Platform Developer XCP-ng & Xen Orchestra - Vates solutions web: https://vates.tech
