ovs
Scripts to help collect and post-process Open vSwitch (OVS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN).
Scripts
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ovs-collect | Collects data at a specified interval on Open vSwitch bridges and flows, then saves the output to separate files named after the command being run. |
| ovs-post-process | Perform post-processing tasks on Open vSwitch data, such as generating datapath statistics or dumping flow tables. Saves output to compressed files that adhere to a Common Data Model (CDM) Schema. |
| ovs-start | Sets the standard output and error to a file, collects some system information, parses command line arguments, and executes the ovs-collect command with a specified interval. |
| ovs-stop | Writes output to a file, identifies the PID of a running process (ovs-collect) using a file, and then sends it a SIGTERM signal to stop it. If the xz utility is available, it compresses any ovs data files. |
JSON files
