BTW, I didn't spot any of these messages in the log: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/4cc9d1f03f83e9fac90a77ddaca0af662b2758b1/ovsdb/file.c#L615
I'll add a few traces to figure out why the auto compact is not triggering. Also, I could see the trace when I ran it manually: 2018-03-07T13:32:21.672Z|00021|ovsdb_server|INFO|compacting OVN_Southbound database by user request 2018-03-07T13:32:21.672Z|00022|ovsdb_file|INFO|/opt/stack/data/ovs/ovnsb_db.db: compacting database online (1519124364.908 seconds old, 951 transactions) On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 2:40 PM, Daniel Alvarez Sanchez <dalva...@redhat.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > During the performance tests I've been doing lately I noticed > that the size of the Southbound database was around 2.5GB > in one of my setups.
