This plugin is very useful for monitoring XenServer pools controlled by CloudStack using GRE via OVS - the setup has a tendency to degrade and suffer link failures which XenServer and CloudStack do not notice. This plugin actually detects unplugged VIFs and alerts on them. However, the collector appears to choke on stats collection and produces:

To add to this, Zenoss also logs an 'ovsdb-server is not running; ovs-vswitchd is not running' event despite the services being live.
