Good point! Will add.

Here is the thinking on this one. The presence of pid file and the validation 
that the process listed in the pid file are process checks. If the process is 
0, then it is down and one can monitor for that. Also, if the process ID of a 
subsystem (say OVN NB) changed, then it means that service was restarted. I 
guess the alert would be if a process is 0 or if the process ID changed, then 
alert.

Per the log files. It happened on a number of occasions that a subsystem 
crashed, but its process was still running. One way of detecting something like 
that is watch for the log file being stale, i.e. log size does not increment. 
There are obviously other ways to monitor that. Also, any spike in log 
activity, i.e. sudden large increase in log file size, means something is 
happening and it worth looking into it.

space, but i'm confused.

That's really informational. Kinda know where system dir is.

Yes, post link to repo issue.

Chassis info missed encap (useful) and options (may be useful).
Also pid file and log file path not useful (i don't understand how
this use in monitoring), also system run dir. May be to monitor disk
space, but i'm confused.
