Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of migrating LDAP data from a really outdated system to something a bit fresher. So, I started with the OpenLDAP as provided by Debian, and learned that a good part of the system management knowledge I had is outdated. So, I stared reading TFM.
... and stumbled over the section where I wanted to learn how to set up monitoring with the cn=config configuration scheme.
Naturally, that was exactly the incentive I needed to actually start giving back something to the community. So, I ended up playing around a bit and googling a bit and scratching my head a lot, taking notes, and came up with something you might want to add into the manual -- see below.
Unfortunately, the whole thing did not exactly work out as I intended, because the crucial step insists on failing. Namely, trying to create a monitor database fails, indicating there already is one in existence. However, I can't find any such beast:
root@host:~/ldap# ldapsearch -Q -LLL -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b 'cn=config' '(|(olcDatabase=monitor)(objectClass=olcMonitorConfig))' root@host:~/ldap#
Did you try searching to see if cn=monitor is actually there?
