Public bug reported: I noticed this error message in neutron-ovs-agent log when start neutron-openvswitch-agent
ERROR neutron.agent.linux.ovsdb_monitor [req-a7c7a398-a13b-490e- adf8-c5afb24b4b9c None None] Interface monitor is not active. ovs-agent will start ovsdb_monitor at [1], and first use it at [2]. There is no guarantee that ovsdb_monitor is ready at [2]. So, I can see the error when start neutron-openvswitch-agent. We should block the start to wait for the process to be active, and then use it. Or else, the use of ovsdb_monitor will be meaningless.
