ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server both support the --monitor option. According to the man page, --monitor creates an additional monitoring-process to monitor the daemon.
How do we monitor the health of the monitoring-process itself? What if it crashes? Since there is no PID file configuration for the monitoring-process, it is not possible to fetch its PID (short of parsing the ps output). This makes monitoring the monitoring-process using a tool like Monit challenging. Has anyone figured out a clean way to detect failure/crash of the monitoring-process and restart it, or some way to configure the PID file location? Thanks!
