Syntax - Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 7.1 Configuration

The tool displays two types of statistics useful for monitoring and
logconv.pl
optimizing directory usage:
• Simple counts of events such as the total number of binds and the total number
of searches provide overall usage information. This is the basic information
that the tool will always print.
• Lists of the most frequently occurring parameters in LDAP requests provide
insight into how the directory information is being accessed. For example, lists
of the top ten bind DNs, base DNs, filter strings, and attributes returned can
help administrators optimize the directory for its users. These lists are optional
because they are computation intensive: specify only the command-line
options for those you need (see "Options," on page 280).
Some information that is extracted by the
logs from current releases of Directory Server; the corresponding values will be
zero when analyzing logs from older versions. In addition, some information will
only be present in the logs if verbose logging is enabled in your Directory Server.
For more information, see "nsslapd-accesslog-level," on page 38.
The following issues will affect the output and performance of this tool:
• Some data extracted from logs depend on connection and operation numbers
that are reset and no longer unique after a server restarts. Therefore, to obtain
the most accurate counts, the logs to be analyzed should not span the restart of
the Directory Server.
• Due to changes in access log format in current releases of Directory Server that
affected operation numbers, the tool will be more accurate logs from current
versions when processing large amounts of access logs.
• For performance reasons, it is not recommended to run more than one gigabyte
of access logs through the script at any one time.
