If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

log_config_append¶

Type: string
Default: <None>
Mutable: This option can be changed without restarting.

The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other logging configuration options are ignored (for example, log-date-format).

Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name
DEFAULT	log-config
DEFAULT	log_config

log_date_format¶

Type: string
Default: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

ovn_dhcp4_global_options¶

Type: dict

ovn_dhcp6_global_options¶

Type: dict
Default: ''

Dictionary of global DHCPv6 options which will be automatically set on each subnet upon creation and on all existing subnets when Neutron starts.

The maximum number of MAC addresses to learn on a bridge managed by the Neutron OVS agent. Values outside a reasonable range (10 to 1,000,000) might be overridden by Open vSwitch according to the documentation.

igmp_snooping_enable¶

Type: boolean
Default: false

Enable IGMP snooping for integration bridge. If this option is set to True, support for Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is enabled in integration bridge.
