Memory Usage Support #16

Closed damienbutt closed 3 years ago

damienbutt commented 3 years ago

Should this support memory usage?

I have been through the build process and I have successfully got the agent up and running on a TrueNAS system that is running inside Proxmox.

For the most part, it is working which is great. I can now shutdown or reboot TrueNAS from the Proxmox UI and I also get network information relayed into the Proxmox UI.

The one thing I noticed straight away was that the amount of memory Proxmox was showing the TrueNAS VM as using was still pretty much 100% which isn't correct. Should it correctly report the memory usage through the agent? Is there any further config I need to do to make this work?

Thanks,

Damien

I've tried and I cannot get this to compile on TrueNas, keep getting the following error: root@NetData:~/qemu-guest-agent # make /!\ ERROR: /!\

Ports Collection support for your FreeBSD version has ended, and no ports are guaranteed to build on this system. Please upgrade to a supported release.

No support will be provided if you silence this message by defining ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM.

Can you point me in the right direction to fix this?

Thank you.

update your TrueNAS instance to newest version or use make -DALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM

Please see the pre-built resource I have posted on the TrueNAS Community forum.

I ran through the build in a FreeBSD jail within TrueNAS.
