* ovsdb-server-election-timer | int

  Default: 4

  Raft leader election timeout in seconds. The charm allows a value between
  1 and 60 seconds.
  .
  The Open vSwitch ovsdb-server default of 1 second may not be sufficient
  for a loaded cluster where the database server may be too busy serving
  requests to respond to elections in time.
  .
  Using a higher value will increase the time to discover a real failure,
  but you must weigh that against the risk of spurious leader flapping and
  the unwanted churn that entails.
  .
  NOTE: The ovsdb-server will refuse to decrease or increase the value of
  this timer more than 2x the current value. The charm will compensate for
  this and decrease / increase the timer in increments, but care should be
  taken to not decrease / increase the value too much in one operation.
* ovsdb-server-inactivity-probe | int

  Default: 60

  Maximum number of seconds of idle time on connection to client before
  sending an inactivity probe message.

  The Open vSwitch ovsdb-server default of 5 seconds may not be sufficient
  depending on type and load of the CMS you want to connect to OVN.
