slapd-monitor(5)


NAME

   slapd-monitor - Monitor backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

   The  monitor backend to slapd(8) 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, issue a subtree search with base
   cn=Monitor, requesting that attributes "+" and "*" 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.

CONFIGURATION

   These slapd.conf options apply to the monitor backend  database.   That
   is,  they  must  follow  a  "database monitor" line and come before any
   subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.

   As opposed to most databases, the monitor database can be  instantiated
   only  once, i.e. only one occurrence of "database monitor" can occur in
   the slapd.conf(5) file.  Moreover, the suffix of the database cannot be
   explicitly  set  by  means  of  the  suffix  directive.   The suffix is
   automatically set to "cn=Monitor".

   The monitor database honors the rootdn and the rootpw  directives,  and
   the usual ACL directives, e.g. the access directive.

   Other database options are described in the slapd.conf(5) manual page.

USAGE

   The usage is:

   1) enable the monitor backend at configure:

          configure --enable-monitor

   2) activate the monitor database in the slapd.conf(5) file:

          database monitor

   3)  add  ACLs  as  detailed in slapd.access(5) to control access to the
   database, e.g.:

          access to dn.subtree="cn=Monitor"
               by dn.exact="uid=Admin,dc=my,dc=org" write
               by users read
               by * none

   4) ensure that the core.schema file is loaded.
          The monitor backend relies on some standard track attributeTypes
          that must be already defined when the backend is started.

ACCESS CONTROL

   The  monitor  backend  honors  access control semantics as indicated in
   slapd.access(5),  including  the  disclose  access  privilege,  on  all
   currently implemented operations.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

   The   monitor  backend  does  not  honor  size/time  limits  in  search
   operations.
