3.6.2. nsslapd-changelogmaxage (Max Changelog Age)

This attribute specifies the maximum age of any entry in the changelog. The changelog contains
a record for each directory modification and is used when synchronizing consumer servers. Each
record contains a timestamp. Any record with a timestamp that is older than the value specified in this
attribute is removed. If this attribute is absent, there is no age limit on changelog records, which is the
default behavior since this attribute is not present by default.
NOTE
Expired changelog records will not be removed if there is an agreement that has fallen
behind further than the maximum age.
