Monitoring Your Server From the Command Line

You can monitor your directory server's current activities from any LDAP client by
performing a search operation with the following characteristics:
• Search for attribute
• Search base:
• Search scope:
For example:
ldapsearch -h directory.example.com -s base -b "cn=monitor"
"(objectclass=*)"
For information on searching the Directory Server, see "Using ldapsearch," on
page 502.
The monitoring attributes for your server are found in the
entry.
When you monitor your server's activities using
following information:
•
version
•

Additional threads may be created by internal server tasks, such as replication
or chaining.
•
connection:fd:opentime:opsinitiated:opscompleted:binddn:[rw]
following summary information for each open connection (only available if
you bind to the directory as the Directory Manager ):

server performance. The lower the number of page evicts the better.
