  69 Open vSwitch installs a number of xen-bugtool extensions in
  70 /etc/xensource/bugtool to gather additional information useful for
  71 debugging.  The sources for the extensions are in
  72 ../utilities/bugtool/plugins:
  73
  74     kernel-info/openvswitch.xml
  75
  76         Collect kernel information relevant to Open vSwitch, such as
  77         slabinfo.
  78
  79     network-status/openvswitch.xml
  80
  81         Collect networking information relevant to Open vSwitch.  Runs
  82         the following scripts, which are described below:
  83
  84             * ovs-bugtool-cfm-show
  85             * ovs-bugtool-lcap-show
  86             * ovs-bugtool-ovsdb-dump
  87             * ovs-bugtool-tc-class-show
  88
  89     system-configuration/openvswitch.xml
  90
  91         Collect system configuration information relevant to Open vSwitch,
  92         including timezone.
  93
  94     system-configuration.xml
  95
  96         Collect system configuration data.  This category is configured
  97         to collect up to 1Mb of data, take up to 60 seconds to collect
  98         data, run every time and is hidden from display in XenCenter.
  99

 102 scripts are located in ../utilities/bugtool:
 103
 104     ovs-bugtool-cfm-show
 105
 106         Script to dump detailed CFM information for all enabled interfaces.
