Can I set "loglevel" option only for particular database, or all databases of particular backend (any slapd version) ? man slapd-<backend> does not mention about it, and the loglevel option is marked global in slapd manpage, however
"GLOBAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS Options described in this section apply to all backends, unless specifically overridden in a backend definition."
[Rearranging reply]:
AFAIK, that is not possible with loglevel, if you want to save yourself some time.
Right, the loglevel is a global variable. And that doesn't look like it could be easily changed either, since much of the logging happens outside of the backend which handles the meat of the operation.
Did you read the manpage for the backend in question to see if it could be overridden?
No, what slapd.conf(5) calls a "backend definition" a bit earlier is a section of slapd.conf starting with "backend <foo>". And what it means is apparently either that or a "database <foo>" section, at least in the case of "sizelimit" and "access" statements. Could use some clarification, I'll file a documentation ITS for it.
