Description Marcin Mirecki 2018-04-11 08:01:25 UTC

A description of the ovirt-provider-ovn conf files should be added to docs.
Description below:

The ovirt-provider-ovn config file is located in:
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/conf.d/

The default configuration file is:
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/ovirt-provider-ovn.conf

If any changes to the configuration are needed, please override the 
default configuration file by placing a .conf file in:
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/conf.d/

Only *.conf are considered. Files read in by name, last wins.

If the provider was installed using engine setup, one incremental
config file will be automatically created by engine setup:
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/conf.d/10_engine_setup.conf
If further configuration changes are required, an additional incremental
configuration file should be created, named after the engine setup config,
for example:
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/conf.d/20_user_setup.conf
The original engine setup config (10_engine_setup.conf) should not be modified.

A description of the configuration properties can be found in the readme file located in:
  /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/

Comment 1 Lucy Bopf 2018-04-13 05:29:10 UTC

Marcin, is this change recorded in an engineering RFE? If so, can you provide the BZ number. Thanks!

Comment 2 Marcin Mirecki 2018-04-13 07:55:53 UTC

It would be hard to bind this to a specific BZ.
The change was spread over quite a long time period, small changes, usually without a bz.

The BZ adding incremental configuration:

Comment 4 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-01-28 09:44:40 UTC

This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0.
Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.

Comment 6 Dominik Holler 2019-03-21 12:46:58 UTC

We were not able to figure out the motivation, why the user should modify the files.
