Configuration File Format

The configuration file defines the following:
• The connection parameters for connecting to the LDAP servers to get replication information;
specifying this information is mandatory.
• The server alias for more readable server names; specifying this information is optional.
• The color thresholds for time lags; specifying this information is optional.
The format for the configuration file is shown below.
[connection]
host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
...
[alias]
alias = host:port
alias = host:port
...
[color]
lowmark = color
lowmark = color
The connection section defines how this tool may connect to each LDAP server in the replication
topology to get the replication-agreement information. The default binddn is cn=Directory
Manager. Simple bind will be used unless bindcert is specified with the path of a certificate database.
A server may have a dedicated or shared entry in the connection section. The script will find out the
most matched entry for a given server. For example, if all the LDAP servers except host1 share the
same binddn and bindpassword, the connection section will need to contain just two entries:
[connection]
214
Description
Specifies the refresh interval in seconds. The
default value is 300 seconds. This option must
be used with the -u option.
Specifies the refresh URL. The output HTML file
may invoke a CGI program periodically. If this
CGI program in turn calls this script, the effect
is that the output HTML file would automatically
refresh itself. This is useful for continuous
monitoring. See also the -t option. The script
has been integrated into Red Hat Administration
Express, so that the replication status can be
monitored through a web browser.
Prints the version of this script.
