From http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/358.html:

 dn: cn=Log,cn=Monitor
 changetype: modify
 add: managedInfo
 managedInfo: stats
 managedInfo: stats2

I'm running 2.4.40 with cn=config, olcLoglevel: stats (thus I can change the log level anyway), but cn=Log,cn=Monitor does not contain any managedInfo attributes (at least

$ ldapsearch -x -H ldapi:/// -D cn=monitor -W -b cn=Log,cn=Monitor managedInfo

does not return any; cn=monitor is the rootDN of the monitor database).

My questions:

1. Is the above FAQ entry outdated?

No, it is correct.

So does slapd log according to the union of the managedInfo values of cn=Log,cn=Monitor and the olcLoglevel values of cn=config? That would explain the lack of managedInfo attributes in my setup.
