H1: Monitoring Slapd
{{slapd}} supports a monitoring interface you can use to find out
many useful bits of information about what {{slapd}} is currently
doing, how many connections it has, how many threads are
working, etc.
The monitor backend to {{slapd}} is not an actual database; if enabled, it is
automatically generated and dynamically maintained by {{slapd}} with information
about the running status of the daemon.
{{slapd}}(8) supports a monitoring interface you can use to obtain
information regarding the current state of your {{slapd}} instance.
For instance, the interface allows you to determine how many clients
are connected to the server currently. The interface is accessed
used {{TERM:LDAP}} and is provided via the {{monitor}} backend. A
manual page, {{slapd-monitor}}(5) is available.
The monitor backend to {{slapd}} is not an actual database; if
enabled, it is automatically generated and dynamically maintained
by {{slapd}} with information about the running status of the daemon.
To inspect all monitor information, one can issue a subtree search
with base {{EX:cn=Monitor}} and filter {{EX:(objectClass=*)}},
requesting the return of all user (e.g., '*') and operational (e.g.,
'+' attributes. Many of the attributes provided by monitor backend
are operational attributes, and hence will not be returned unless
explicitly requested. For example:
> ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -W -b 'cn=Monitor' '+' '*'
As there are may be many objects under {{EX:cn=Monitor}}, a search
with a narrower search criteria may be more appropriate.
To inspect all monitor information, issue a subtree search with base
{{EX:cn=Monitor}}, requesting that attributes {{EX:+}} and {{EX:*}} are
returned. The monitor backend produces mostly operational attributes, and LDAP
only returns operational attributes that are explicitly requested. Requesting
attribute "+" is an extension which requests all operational attributes.
