+=head2 Plugin C<ovs_events>
+
+The I<ovs_events> plugin monitors the link status of OVS connected interfaces,
+dispatches the values to collectd and send the notification whenever the link
+state change occurs. This plugin uses OVS DB to get a link state change
+notification.

+
+=item B<Address> I<node>
+
+The 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:' 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 'localhost'.

+TCP-port to connect to. Either a service name or a port number may be given.
+Please note that numerical port numbers must be given as a string. Defaults
+to "6640".
+
+=item B<Socket> I<path>
+
+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
+'--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
+or it's 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

+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.
