1 | Reporting Bugs in Open vSwitch |
2 | ============================== | |
3 | ||
4 | We are eager to hear from users about problems that they have | |
5 | encountered with Open vSwitch. This file documents how best to report | |
6 | bugs so as to ensure that they can be fixed as quickly as possible. | |
7 | ||
8 | Please report bugs by sending email to bugs@openvswitch.org. | |
9 | ||
10 | The most important parts of your bug report are the following: | |
11 | ||
12 | * What you did that make the problem appear. | |
13 | ||
14 | * What you expected to happen. | |
15 | ||
16 | * What actually happened. | |
17 | ||
18 | Please also include the following information: | |
19 | ||
20 | * The Open vSwitch version number (as output by `ovs-vswitchd | |
21 | --version`). | |
22 | ||
23 | * The Git commit number (as output by `git rev-parse HEAD`), | |
24 | if you built from a Git snapshot. | |
25 | ||
26 | * Any local patches or changes you have applied (if any). | |
27 | ||
28 | The following are also handy sometimes: | |
29 | ||
30 | * The kernel version on which Open vSwitch is running (from | |
31 | `/proc/version`) and the distribution and version number of | |
32 | your OS (e.g. "Centos 5.0"). | |
33 | ||
34 | * The contents of the vswitchd configuration database (usually | |
35 | `/etc/openvswitch/conf.db`). | |
36 | ||
37 | * The output of `ovs-dpctl show`. | |
38 | ||
39 | * If you have Open vSwitch configured to connect to an | |
40 | OpenFlow controller, the output of `ovs-ofctl show <bridge>` | |
41 | for each `<bridge>` configured in the vswitchd configuration | |
42 | database. | |
43 | ||
44 | * A fix or workaround, if you have one. | |
45 | ||
46 | * Any other information that you think might be relevant. | |
