Hello, I was looking at the docs on http://www.openldap.org/devel/admin/ monitoringslapd.html and section 13.1 (cn=config) has yet to be written.
Could anyone give me a brief description what what that is?
I assume this section would be on how to configure back-monitor via back-config, for now, converting your slapd.conf (that you set up for back-monitor in 13.3) would do what is necessary. If you use a slapd.conf, this is irrelevant for you at present.
Also, I am writing a health check for openldap
For what monitoring system ?
Here is the one I use for performance and replication monitoring with Hobbit (but I also use it stand-alone).
http://staff.telkomsa.net/~bgmilne/bb-openldap.pl
and I am only able to find effective monitoring stats via the cn=Monitor but that is not always configured in every slapd instance.
The best solution here is to configure it.
Is there another way of going about this?
AFAIK, no.
