Expected: Since the check_router_ha is set true hence collection for metric should not happen since the hosting agents are in standby state.

After reading the latest documentation in https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/docs/Ovs.md I'm not sure I understand this bug. Is this still an issue? If so, can you expand on what exactly was unexpected and why?
