First of all I have no idea if it is the KVM on my Open Media Vault which is running OPNSense in a VM or the Opnsense OS itself but on OMV I see that qemu has Opnsense at 120%+ CPU usage. When I "top" within Opnsense it has highest at like 1-8% CPU but OMV (Debian) shows it as 120+. When I top in OMV, everything else is 1-8% as well, but the qemu.
I reinstalled OPN several times bu same thing. The OMV machine is 384GIG RAM, and 2 CPU @ 64 Cores. I assigned OPN 4 CPU and 48GIG RAM. If it is OMV that is fine, but am wondering if anything of this makes sense or any suggestions?

Do I need to install qemu-guest-agent in Opnsense?

I don't have evidence to hand but I have read it in other places (Proxmox forums for instance) that the qemu agent for freebsd doesn't report well. So in other words, it is "just" the view that is flawed. Nothing to do with opnsense.

If I remember correctly from when I tried this, you need to install the os-qemu-guest-agent plugin in OPNSense in order to get things to report correctly.  It's in the list with all of the other plugins.

Even with that the reporting is flawed. I know first hand from using it with Proxmox.
