Monitoring is a valid option on POSIX based platforms. The monitor creates an additional process to monitor the ovsdb-server daemon. If the daemon dies due to a programming error, then the monitor process starts a new copy of it. If the daemon dies or exits for another reason, the monitor process exits.
The monitor option is not currently enabled for either OVN Northboud or Southbound databases. It would be a trivial task to enable the monitor in the start_ovsdb function in ovn-ctl. However, this is an attempt to do so using the start_daemon function in ovs-lib, which is currently used by ovn-northd and ovn-controller.
