Thank you for your bug report.

Extending the OVS/OVN knobs the charm can manage does indeed have merit, however the proposed approach would require the Open vSwitch instance to be restarted, with subsequent data plane interruption, in order to apply the configuration changes.

The options used in the example above can be set at runtime through calls to `ovs-appctl vlog/set`, which does not require a restart of Open vSwitch.

Most of the configuration and debug toggles Open vSwitch can either be applied through `ovs-appctl` or by manipulating the database through appropriate tools.

I wonder if it would be more appropriate if the charms grew the capability of managing OVS/OVN runtime vlog state through a charm configuration option?
