Monitor events are hardware dependant. Monitoring capabilities are detected on
plugin initialization and only supported events are monitored.

The plugin provides the following configuration options:

-=item B<OvsDbServerUrl> I<server>
+=item B<Address> I<node>
-The URL is an address of OVS DB server JSON-RPC interface used by the plugin.
-To enable the interface, OVS DB daemon should be running with '--remote=ptcp:'
-or '--remote=punix:' option. See L<ovsdb-server(1)> for more details. The URL
-must take one of the following forms:
+The address of the OVS DB server JSON-RPC interface used by the plugin. To
+enable the interface, OVS DB daemon should be running with C<--remote=ptcp:>
+option. See L<ovsdb-server(1)> for more details. The option may be either
+network hostname, IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation or IPv6 hexadecimal string
+format. Defaults to B<'localhost'>.

+=item B<Port> I<service>
-=item B<tcp:>I<ip>:I<port>
+TCP-port to connect to. Either a service name or a port number may be given.
+Defaults to B<6640>.
-Connect to the given tcp I<port> on I<ip>, where I<ip> is IPv4 address
-of OVS DB server which is listening on TCP I<port> for incoming
-JSON-RPC client connection.
+=item B<Socket> I<path>
-=item B<unix:>I<file>
-
-Connect to the unix domain server socket named I<file> which is
-used by OVS DB for incoming JSON-RPC client connection.

-Default: C<tcp:127.0.0.1:6640>
+The UNIX domain socket path of OVS DB server JSON-RPC interface used by the
+plugin. To enable the interface, the OVS DB daemon should be running with
+C<--remote=punix:> option. See L<ovsdb-server(1)> for more details. If this
+option is set, B<Address> and B<Port> options are ignored.
=item B<Interfaces> [I<ifname> ...]
-List of interface names to be monitored by this plugin. If this option is missed

+List of interface names to be monitored by this plugin. If this option is not
+specified or is empty then all OVS connected interfaces on all bridges are
+monitored.
Default: empty (all interfaces on all bridges are monitored)
+=item B<SendNotification> I<true|false>
+
+If set to true, OVS link notifications (interface status and OVS DB connection
+terminate) are sent to collectd. Default value is false.
+

+B<Note:> By default, the global interval setting is used within which to
+retrieve the OVS link status. To configure a plugin-specific interval, please
+use B<Interval> option of the OVS B<LoadPlugin> block settings. For milliseconds
+simple divide the time by 1000 for example if the desired interval is 50ms, set
+interval to 0.05.

=head2 Plugin C<perl>
This plugin embeds a Perl-interpreter into collectd and provides an interface
and the sensible setting is a multiple of the B<ReadThreads> value.
If you are not sure, just use the default setting.
+=item B<ExtraStats> B<string>
+
+Report additional extra statistics. The default is no extra statistics, preserving
+the previous behaviour of the plugin. If unsure, leave the default. If enabled,
+allows the plugin to reported more detailed statistics about the behaviour of
+Virtual Machines. The argument is a space-separated list of selectors.
+Currently supported selectors are:
+B<disk> report extra statistics like number of flush operations and total
+service time for read, write and flush operations.
