I'm not sure that dump-flows output is really useful for monitoring. It's too much detail. I don't know how you would use the results. > * With ovs-dpctl show : > - flows (max and current) > - ports (max and current) > - lookup (miss, frag, lost, hits) Of these, the lookup stats are the most interesting. Quickly changing miss counts usually mean that there are lots of new flows; if there shouldn't be, then it can indicate that there is a bug. If the "lost" number increases then it means that flows couldn't be set up by userspace fast enough to keep up with the network and so some packets have been dropped. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
