HI!
I'm adapting my mtail program for log-based slapd metrics for release 2.5.
2.5 introduces qtime= and etime= in RESULT lines. Great!
I could easily grab histogram metrics for both but that doubles
time-series data in Prometheus.
So I wonder what's the difference? Is it worth to always look at both?
Ciao, Michael.

qtime is the amount of time an op spent queued before executing. If this number ever gets
larger than some milliseconds, that usually means slapd is too busy. Increasing worker
threads
might help then, but that assumes there are still CPU resources available. (I.e., it would
only
help if all existing slapd threads are waiting for external responses, e.g. back-ldap
waiting
for a remote reply. If all worker threads are actively using CPU then there's nothing
else that
can be done.)
At one point we had a patch that would simply return LDAP_BUSY to the client for this
condition, but
it seems to have disappeared.
Ciao, Michael.

We are using prometheus, too. Would you be so kind to share some
information about mtail?
