+=head2 Plugin C<dpdkevents>
+
+The I<dpdkevents plugin> collects events from DPDK such as link status of
+network ports and Keep Alive status of DPDK logical cores.
+In order to get Keep Alive events following requirements must be met:
+- DPDK >= 16.07
+- support for Keep Alive implemented in DPDK application. More details can
+be found here: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/sample_app_ug/keep_alive.html
