Table 7.31. repl-monitor.pl Options
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]
*:*:binddn:bindpassword:
host1:*:binddn1:bindpassword1:
In the optional alias section, use aliases such as Supplier1, Supplier2, and Hub1, to
identify the servers in the replication topology. If used, the output shows these aliases, instead of
http(s)://hostname:port.
repl-monitor.pl (Monitors Replication Status)
Description

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.
