10 # ENABLE_BRCOMPAT: If 'y' than emulate linux bridging interfaces
11 # using the brcompat kernel module and ovs-brcompatd daemon
14 # ENABLE_FAKE_PROC_NET: If 'y' then emulate linux bonding and vlan
15 # files in /proc as if the bonding and vlan demultiplexing done in
16 # ovs-vswitchd were being implemented using existing Linux mechanisms.
17 # This is useful in some cases when replacing existing solutions.
18 # ENABLE_FAKE_PROC_NET=y
20 # FORCE_COREFILES: If 'y' then core files will be enabled.
23 # COREFILE_PATTERN: Pattern used to determine path and filename for
24 # core files when FORCE_COREFILES is 'y'. This is Linux specific.
25 # See the manpage for "core".
26 # COREFILE_PATTERN="/var/log/%e-%t"
28 # VSWITCHD_CONF: File in which ovs-vswitchd stores its configuration.
29 # VSWITCHD_CONF=/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf
31 # VSWITCHD_PIDFILE: File in which to store the pid of the running
33 # VSWITCHD_PIDFILE=/var/run/ovs-vswitchd.pid
35 # VSWITCHD_RUN_DIR: Set the directory in which ovs-vswitchd should be
36 # run. This mainly affects where core files will be placed.
37 # VSWITCHD_RUN_DIR=/var/xen/vswitch
39 # VSWITCHD_PRIORITY: "nice" priority at which to run ovs-vswitchd and related
41 # VSWITCHD_PRIORITY=-10

44 # VSWITCHD_LOGFILE=/var/log/ovs-vswitchd.log
46 # VSWITCHD_MEMLEAK_LOGFILE: File for logging memory leak data.
47 # Enabling this option will slow ovs-vswitchd significantly. Do not
48 # enable it except to debug a suspected memory leak. Use the
49 # ovs-parse-leaks utility included with Open vSwitch to parse the
50 # log file. For best results, you also need debug symbols.
51 # VSWITCHD_MEMLEAK_LOGFILE=""
53 # VSWITCHD_FILE_LOGLEVEL: Log level at which to log into the
54 # VSWITCHD_LOG file. If this is null or not set the logfile will
55 # not be created and nothing will be sent to it. This is the
56 # default. The available options are: EMER, WARN, INFO and DBG.
57 # VSWITCHD_FILE_LOGLEVEL=""

64 # VSWITCHD_STRACE_LOG: File for logging strace output.

78 # under valgrind, whose output will be logged to the specified file.
79 # Enabling this option will slow ovs-vswitchd by 100X or more.
