Hi Matt,
Thank you for your information! I will submit a patch to implement this function.

Best Regards,

Hi Chenjie,
Yes, the dump-ports-desc can be used to obtain the current port state and negotiated state with the peer.  This data will need to be mapped back to the data interface mapping of the host so that the appropriate alarms may be raised against the proper entity.

In addition, if the data interface is a bond, the following information will also have to be retrieved in order to obtain the full state of the bond interface, including LACP information (if applicable).

ovs-appctl bond/show
ovs-appctl lacp/show

Finally, the alarming behavior should be the following:

Data port is down and does not belong to a bond – Critical Alarm
Data port(s) down, but enabled port remains in bond – Major Alarm (degraded service)
All data ports down in a bond – Critical Alarm

Hi Matt,
For task “OVS collectd interface/port state monitoring”, which parts should be monitored? For example: Bridge, Port.
https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2002948
https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1834512
Bridge "br-phy1"
        Port "br-phy1"
            Interface "br-phy1"
                type: internal
        Port "eth1"
            Interface "eth1"
                type: dpdk
                options: {dpdk-devargs="0000:18:00.1", n_rxq="1"}
        Port "lldp8a3c28ca-7f"
            Interface "lldp8a3c28ca-7f"
                type: internal

The command “ovs-ofctl dump-ports-desc $ovs_bridge” can be used with collectd for both OVS and OVS-DPDK. The link status for interfaces can be detected as below:
For OVS:
After pull the cabel:
