+    Adds ``ovn-monitor-all`` variable. A boolean value that tells if
+    ovn-controller should unconditionally monitor all records in OVS
+    databases.
+    Setting ``ovn-monitor-all`` variable to 'true' will remove some CPU
+    load from OVN SouthBound DB but will effect with more updates
+    comming to ovn-controller. Might be helpfull in large deployments
+    with many compute hosts.
