How to add guest agent in Proxmox on Ubuntu OS

If you’ve already started your VM and you’re noticing there is no guest agent use the following steps to add this feature.

First login to your VM and install the guest agent:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install qemu-guest-agent

Next, shutdown your node completely and enable the QEMU Guest Agent under “Options”.

Once enabled, start your VM.

Check to see that the guest agent is running:

ls /dev/virtio-ports/

You should get an output like: org.qemu.guest_agent.0

Go back to Summary in Proxmox and you’ll be able to see your VM network info.
