| Container /Cadvisor Support | Under investigation | Investigation to understand how to retrieve host metrics using cadvisor and collectd | |||
| Process Monitoring | Design Ready | Add a method which will accept a userspace process name as a parameter and return its pid | |||
| OVS with DPDK PMD stats | Under Review | Creating a script that will pull OVS-with-dpdk PMD stats and publish them to collectd. these stats are not retrievable through the OVSDB - but should be in the future - which is why this integration is stand alone for now | |||
| OVS Multi Instance Support | Implemented, final testing in progress | OvS DB multi-instance support for ovs_event/ovs_stats plugins |
