Hi,

is there a more efficient way to count how many entries a ldap database has than

slapcat -b <suffix> | grep ^dn: | wc -l

Here olmBDBDNCache from cn=Database 1,cn=Databases,cn=Monitor seems to be close to the number (10762 vs. 10770).

I searched the cn=Monitor backend but it does not seem to export this number.

I want to have this for graphing and reporting and as a secondary data point that replication is working as intended.

You could try using contrib overlay slapo-noopsrch and then use noop search request control. But if you have many entries you will run into search timeout.

ldapsearch -E 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.18

outputs base64 of BER encoding of response control value which is described herein:

See also file Demo/pyasn1/noopsearch.py in python-ldap's source tar.gz.

Also my monitoring script does that: https://www.stroeder.com/pylib/slapd_checkmk.py

How many entries do you have in your DB?

Ciao, Michael.
