+    This parameter sets inactive probe interval of the JSON session
+    from ovn-controller to the OVN SB database. By default this it
+    is 5s which not be sufficient in loaded systems or during high
+    control-plane activity spikes, leading to unnecessary reconnections
+    to OVSDB server. Now it is extended by default to 1 min and it is
+    configurable by param OVNRemoteProbeInterval.
