Could you share a bit details how it works?
I thought the row in connection table only tells nbdb and sbdb the
probe interval. Isn't that right? Does nbdb and sbdb also create
socket based on target column?

In that case, how do I set probe interval for ovn-controller?
My understanding is that, ovn-controller reads configuration from
ovsdb-server on the local compute node. Isn't that right?

Here is how ovsdb-server and ovn-controller is invoked on compute node.
========
root 41129 0.0 0.0 157556 20532 ? S Jul30 1:51 /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server /var/lib/openvswitch/conf.db -vconsole:emer -vsyslog:err -vfile:info --remote=punix:/run/openvswitch/db.sock --remote=ptcp:6640:127.0.0.1 --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options --log-file=/var/log/kolla/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log --pidfile
root 63775 55.9 0.4 1477796 1224324 ? Sl Aug04 1360:55 /usr/bin/ovn-controller --pidfile=/run/ovn/ovn-controller.pid --log-file=/var/log/kolla/openvswitch/ovn-controller.log tcp:127.0.0.1:6640
========
Is that OK? Or UNIX socket method is recommended for ovn-controller
to connect to ovsdb-server?
Here is the configuration in open_vswitch table in ovsdb-server.
========
external_ids : {ovn-encap-ip="10.6.30.22", ovn-encap-type=geneve, ovn-openflow-probe-interval="30", ovn-remote="tcp:10.6.20.84:6642,tcp:10.6.20.85:6642,tcp:10.6.20.86:6642", ovn-remote-probe-interval="60000", system-id="compute-3"}
========
ovn-controller connects to ovsdb-server and reads this configuration,
so it knows how to connect to all sbdb nodes, right?
If it's TCP between ovn-controller and ovsdb-server, is that probe
interval setting will also apply to the probe from ovn-controller to
ovsdb-server?
ovn-controller connects to ovs-vswitchd by UNIX socket to program
open-flow. ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server are connected by UNIX too.
So, is that ovn-openflow-probe-interval for the probe from ovn-controller
to ovs-vswitchd via UNIX?
As a summary for the probe setting,
+--------------+ driver configuration
| ovn-driver |
+--------------+
^ |
| v
+--------------+ inactivity_probe in table "Connection"
| ovn-nb-db |
+--------------+
^ |
| v
+--------------+ options:northd_probe_interval in table "NB_Global"
| ovn-northd | in nbdb.
+--------------+
^ |
| v
+--------------+ inactivity_probe in table "Connection"
| ovn-sb-db |
+--------------+
^ |
| v
+--------------------------------+ in table "Open_vSwitch" in ovsdb-server
| ovn-controller | ovn-remote-probe-interval for TCP
+--------------------------------+ probe to ovsdb-server,
^ | ^ | ovn-openflow-probe-interval for UNIX
| v TCP | v UNIX probe to ovs-vswitchd
+--------------+ +--------------+
| ovsdb-server | | ovs-vswitchd |
+--------------+ +--------------+
Is that correct?

I did see errors about connecting to br-mgmt (UNIX connection to
ovs-vswitchd) in ovn-controller logging. After setting proble internal,
those errors are gone. It seems that it does matter.
