I'm running a NRPE monitor that monitors openLDAP. To compute delta
values,
the NRPE plugin stores the "dn: cn=Uptime,cn=Time,cn=Monitor" reported by openLDAP to compare it with the current value (to build the time
difference).
If the time difference is negative, the plugin reports a "server restart" event.
Uptime is the least usable time value for this task. Anyway...
What would you recommend instead?
Calculate the difference quotient over the real time which is supposed to be monotonically increasing given your time sync setup is correct. If you insist on reading it from cn=monitor it's cn=Current,cn=Time,cn=Monitor.
Ciao, Michael.
