ovn-debug(8)

πŸ’… ovn-debug β€” the manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to ovn-debug(8) from the OVN Manual. this is the page for the OVN debug tool, and yes we're gonna read the whole thing together, no skimming, no cap. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

ovn-debug β€” the Open Virtual Network debug tool. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she knows it. πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ovn-debug COMMAND [ARG...]

so the vibe is: you give her a COMMAND, and then optionally some ARG... after it. that's the whole shape of it. iconic. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

ovn-debug, aka the OVN debug tool, is literally a tool whose entire job is helping you debug your OVN setup. that's the assignment. that's what she does. when your OVN situation is giving chaos and you need answers, she's the bestie you text. ✨


πŸ‘‘ COMMANDS πŸ‘‘

here's the menu, and ngl every single one is a little translation service for your brain:

  • lflow-stage-to-ltable STAGE_NAME β€” takes a logical flow stage name, like ls_in_lb, and converts it into the logical flow table number, like 13. so you hand her a name, she hands you a number. πŸ’…
  • lflow-stage-to-oftable STAGE_NAME β€” same deal but for OpenFlow: give her a logical flow stage name like ls_in_lb, and she gives you back the OpenFlow table number, like 21. πŸ¦‹
  • lflow-pipeline-oftable-start-list β€” no arguments needed, she just prints out the starting OpenFlow table number of the ingress and egress pipelines. two pipelines, two starting numbers, zero guesswork. 🌈
pro tip from me to you: STAGE_NAME is a placeholder, so swap in your actual stage name, don't literally type STAGE_NAME. 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it. πŸ“
