Description Adrián Moreno 2021-01-14 13:10:06 UTC

For troubleshooting, it would be very useful to have a tool that would take an ovs flow as input and would print everything that OVN knows about that flow.

Ideally, the tool should have the option to print the result in machine-readable format.

@Adrian,

I may be wrong, but I think you may have implemented this feature now as part of the work you have done for debugging OVS/OVN. Is this request still needed?

Hi @mmichels@mmichels .

I think we could consider the job done from OVN's side with the patches that expose ovn-detrace functionality as a python module.

Now, any external tool can gather this information. I can move this issue to OVS so we implement the client-side of this in ovs-ofparse (I have it implemented already in my private repo but I have to send it upstream)
