The service monitoring rule "Linux monitoring service status" was previously being used for both Linux and OVS. This werk now splits this rule in two. We now have the following rules.

Bonding interface status OVS bonding interface status

The reason behind this, is that we have now introduced an expected mode configuration parameter only for the Linux rule. So you are now able to select the expected bonding mode and the state you want to display when this condition is not met.

Actions:

Case 1: Rule configured for linux Action: do nothing.

Case 2: Rule configured for OVS Action: All previously configured rules will now appear as Linux Bonding interface status rules. Therefore you will have to delete them and create new "OVS Bonding interface status" rules.
