Description Pradipta Kumar Sahoo 2019-09-13 12:26:22 UTC
Description of problem:

From the customer, Operator and Admin prospective, it would difficult to monitor and review mapping in-between OVN Logical and OVS Physical flows in a larger scale environment.
OVN logical flow mapping is similar to OVS OpenFlow port mapping and rules. For a small infrastructure (POC/LAB), it is good to consider the existing OVN CLI utilities to review, monitor & trace the logical switch/flows


In OpenStack OVN integrated environment the logical information stores in 4 layer.

1. Inside MariaDB "ovs_neutron" database.
2. OVN Logical Switch & Flow Information stores "OVN-North-DB".
3. OVN South Bound DB with Chassis and Port bind details.
4. OVS-DB Configuration with OpenFlow port and vSwitchd with OF rules.

Currently, OVN is serving SDN functionality for non-telco customer with standard layer2, layer3 with the various prototype.
Referring to product milestone OVN is going to play as a unified SDN solution for Red Hat emerging products to enhance the capabilities and simplify the complexity of existing OpenStack neutron services. 

** Referring to current features, pain point, and milestone, it would be good to introduce GUI interface to monitor both OVN functions (NB, SB, BFD, Logical{Network, Flows, Ports}) and OVS connections for Operator and Admin perspective **

Hence I raise this RFE for further review and recommendation.
