Chapter 12   Monitoring Server and Database Activity

This chapter describes monitoring database and Netscape Directory Server (Directory Server) logs. This chapter contains the following sections:

• Viewing and Configuring Log Files
• Manual Log File Rotation
• Monitoring Server Activity
• Monitoring Database Activity
• Monitoring Database Link Activity

For information on using SNMP to monitor your Directory Server, see Chapter 13 "Monitoring Directory Server Using SNMP."

Viewing and Configuring Log Files

---

Directory Server provides three types of logs to help you better manage your directory and tune performance. These logs include:

• Access Log
• Error Log
• Audit Log

The following aspects are common to the configuration of all types of logs:

• Defining a log file creation policy
• Defining a log file deletion policy

The following sections describe how to define your log file creation and deletion policy, and how to view and configure each type of log.

Defining a Log File Rotation Policy

If you want the directory to periodically archive the current log and start a new one, you can define a log file rotation policy from Directory Server Console. You can configure the following parameters:

• The total number of logs you want the directory to keep. When the directory reaches this number of logs, it deletes the oldest log file in the folder before creating a new log. The default is 10 logs. Do not set this value to 1. If you do, the directory will not rotate the log and the log will grow indefinitely.
• The maximum size (in MB) for each log file. If you don't want to set a maximum size, type -1 in this field. The default is 100 MB. Once a log file reaches this maximum size (or the maximum age defined in the next step), the directory archives the file and starts a new one. If you set the maximum number of logs to 1, the directory ignores this attribute.
• How often the directory archives the current log file and creates a new one by entering a number of minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. The default is every day. If you set the maximum number of logs to 1, the directory ignores this attribute.

Defining a Log File Deletion Policy

If you want the directory to automatically delete old archived logs, you can define a log file deletion policy from Directory Server Console.

Note	The log deletion policy only makes sense if you have previously defined a log file rotation policy. Log file deletion will not work if you have just one log file. The server evaluates the log file deletion policy at the time of log rotation.

You can configure the following parameters:

• The maximum size of the combined archived logs. When the maximum size is reached, the oldest archived log is automatically deleted. If you don't want to set a maximum size, type -1 in this field. The default is 500 MB. This parameter is ignored in the number of log files is set to 1.
• The minimum amount of free disk space. When the free disk space reaches this minimum value, the oldest archived log is automatically deleted. The default is 5 MB. This parameter is ignored in the number of log files is set to 1.
• The maximum age of log files. When a log file reaches this maximum age, it is automatically deleted. The default is 1 month. This parameter is ignored in the number of log files is set to 1.

Access Log

The access log contains detailed information about client connections to the directory. This section contains the following procedures:

• Viewing the Access Log
• Configuring the Access Log

Viewing the Access Log

To view the access log:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab, then in the navigation tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Access Log icon.

A table displays a list of the last 25 entries in the access log.
 

2. To refresh the current display, click Refresh. Select the Continuous checkbox if you want the display to refresh automatically every ten seconds.
3. To view an archived access log, select it from the Select Log pull-down menu.
4. To display a different number of messages, enter the number you want to view in the "Lines to show" text box and then click Refresh.
5. You can display messages containing a string you specify. To do this, enter the string in the "Show only lines containing" text box and then click Refresh.

Configuring the Access Log

You can configure a number of settings to customize the access log, including where the directory stores the access log and the creation and deletion policies.

You can also disable access logging for the directory. You may do this because the access log can grow very quickly (every 2,000 accesses to your directory will increase your access log by approximately 1 MB). However, before you turn off access logging, consider that the access log provides beneficial troubleshooting information.

To configure the access log for your directory:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab. Then, in the navigation tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Access Log icon.

The access log configuration attributes are displayed in the right pane.
 

2. To enable access logging, select the Enable Logging checkbox.

Clear this checkbox if you do not want the directory to maintain an access log.
 

Access logging is enabled by default.
 

3. Enter the full path and filename you want the directory to use for the access log in the Log File field.

The default is /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/logs/access
 

4. Set the maximum number of logs, log size, and periodicity of archiving.

For information on these parameters, see "Defining a Log File Rotation Policy".
 

5. Set the maximum size of combined archived logs, minimum amount of free disk space, and maximum age for a log file.

For information on these parameters, see "Defining a Log File Deletion Policy".
 

6. When you have finished making changes, click Save.

Error Log

The error log contains detailed messages of errors and events the directory experiences during normal operations.

This section contains the following procedures:

• Viewing the Error Log
• Configuring the Error Log

Viewing the Error Log

To view the error log:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab, then in the navigation tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Error Log icon.

A table displays a list of the last 25 entries in the error log.
 

2. To refresh the current display, click Refresh. Select the Continuous checkbox if you want the display to refresh automatically every ten seconds.
3. To view an archived error log, select it from the Select Log pull-down menu.
4. To specify a different number of messages, enter the number you want to view in the "Lines to show" text box and click Refresh.
5. You can display messages containing a string you specify. To do this, enter the string in the "Show only lines containing" text box and click Refresh.

Configuring the Error Log

You can change several settings for the error log, including where the directory stores the log and what you want the directory to include in the log.

To configure the error log:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab. Then, in the navigation tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Error Log icon.

The error log configuration attributes are displayed in the right pane.
 

2. Select the Error Log tab in the right pane.
3. To enable error logging, select the Enable Logging checkbox.

Clear this checkbox if you do not want the directory to maintain an error log.
 

Error logging is enabled by default.
 

4. Enter the full path and filename you want the directory to use for the error log in the Log File field.

The default is /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/logs/error
 

5. Set the maximum number of logs, log size, and periodicity of archiving.

For information on these parameters, see "Defining a Log File Rotation Policy".
 

6. Set the maximum size of combined archived logs, minimum amount of free disk space, and maximum age for a log file.

For information on these parameters, see "Defining a Log File Deletion Policy".
 

7. If you want to set the log level, Ctrl+click the options you want the directory to include in the Log Level list box.

For more information about log level options, see "Log Level" in the Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
 

Changing these values from the defaults may cause your error log to grow very rapidly, so it is recommended that you do not change your logging level unless you are asked to do so by Netscape Technical Support.
 

8. When you have finished making changes, click Save.

Audit Log

The audit log contains detailed information about changes made to each database as well as to server configuration.

This section contains the following procedures:

• Viewing the Audit Log
• Configuring the Audit Log

Viewing the Audit Log

Before you can view the audit log, you must enable audit logging for the directory. See "Configuring the Audit Log" for information.

To view the audit log:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab. Then, in the navigation tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Audit Log icon.

A table displays a list of the last 25 entries in the audit log.
 

2. To refresh the current display, click Refresh. Select the Continuous checkbox if you want the display to refresh automatically every ten seconds.
3. To view an archived audit log, select it from the Select Log pull-down menu.
4. To display a different number of messages, enter the number you want to view in the "Lines to show" text box and click Refresh.
5. You can display messages containing a string you specify. To do this, enter the string in the "Show only lines containing" text box and click Refresh.

Configuring the Audit Log

You can use the Directory Server Console to enable and disable audit logging and to specify where the audit log file is stored.

To configure audit logging:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab. Then, in the navigation tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Audit Log icon.

The audit log configuration attributes are displayed in the right pane.
 

2. To enable audit logging, select the Enable Logging checkbox.

To disable audit logging, clear the checkbox. By default, audit logging is disabled.
 

3. Enter the full path and filename you want the directory to use for the audit log in the field provided.

The default is /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/logs/audit
 

4. Set the maximum number of logs, log size, and periodicity of archiving.

For information on these parameters, see "Defining a Log File Rotation Policy".
 

5. Set the maximum size of combined archived logs, minimum amount of free disk space, and maximum age for a log file.

For information on these parameters, see "Defining a Log File Deletion Policy".
 

6. When you have finished making changes, click Save.

Manual Log File Rotation

---

The directory server supports automatic log file rotation for all three logs. However, you can manually rotate log files if you have not set automatic log file creation or deletion policies. By default, access, error, and audit log files can be found in the following location:

/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/logs/

To manually rotate log files:

1. Shut down the server.

See "Starting and Stopping the Directory Server" for instructions.
 

2. Move or rename the log file you are rotating in case you need the old log file for future reference.
3. Restart the server.

See "Starting and Stopping the Directory Server" for instructions.
 

Monitoring Server Activity

---

You can monitor your directory server's current activities from either the Directory Server Console or the command line. You can also monitor the activity of the caches for all of your database. This section contains the following information:

• Monitoring Your Server From the Directory Server Console
• Monitoring Your Server From the Command Line

Monitoring Your Server From the Directory Server Console

This section contains information about using the Directory Server Console to monitor your server and the information available to you in the performance monitor.

Viewing the Server Performance Monitor

To monitor your server's activities using Directory Server Console:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab. In the navigation tree, select Performance Counters.

The Status tab in the right pane displays current information about server activity. If the server is currently not running, this tab will not provide performance monitoring information.
 

2. Click Refresh to refresh the current display. If you want the server to continuously update the displayed information, select the Continuous checkbox.

Overview of Server Performance Monitor Information

The server provides monitoring information as described in the following sections:

• General Information (Server)
• Resource Summary
• Current Resource Usage
• Connection Status
• Global Database Cache Information

General Information (Server)

The server provides the following general information:

• Server version—Identifies the current server version.
• Configuration DN—Identifies the distinguished name that you must use as a search base to obtain these results using the ldapsearch command-line utility. This field should read cn=monitor.
• Data version—Provides identification information for the server's data. Usually the information shown here is only relevant if your server supplies replicas to consumer servers. The data version information is supplied as follows:
• Server host name.
• Server port number.
• Database generation number. Possibly obsolete: A unique identifier that is created only when you create your directory database without a machine data entry in the LDIF file.
• Current change log number. This is the number corresponding to the last change made to your directory. This number starts at one and increments by one for each change made to the database.
• Startup time on server—Date and time the server was started.
• Current time on server—Displays the current date and time on the server.

Resource Summary

The Resource Summary table displayed by the console provides the following resource-specific information:

Table 12-1    Server Performance Monitoring - Resource Summary Table  

Resource	Usage since startup	Average per minute
Connections	Total number of connections to this server since server startup.	Average number of connections per minute since server startup.
Operations Initiated	Total number of operations initiated since server startup. Operations include any client requests for server action, such as searches, adds, and modifies. Often, multiple operations are initiated for each connection.	Average number of operations per minute since server startup.
Operations Completed	Total number of operations completed by the server since server startup.	Average number of operations per minute since server startup.
Entries sent to clients	Total number of entries sent to clients since server startup. Entries are sent to clients as the result of search requests.	Average number of entries sent to clients per minute since server startup.
Bytes sent to clients	Total number of bytes sent to clients since server startup.	Average number of bytes sent to clients per minute since server startup.

Current Resource Usage

The Resource Summary table in Directory Server Console provides the following resource-specific information.

Table 12-2    Server Performance Monitoring - Current Resource Usage Table  

Resource	Current total
Active Threads	Current number of active threads used for handling requests. Additional threads may be created by internal server tasks, such as replication or chaining.
Open Connections	Total number of open connections. Each connection can account for multiple operations, and therefore multiple threads.
Remaining Available Connections	Total number of remaining connections that the server can concurrently open. This number is based on the number of currently open connections and the total number of concurrent connections that the server is allowed to open. In most cases, the latter value is determined by the operating system, and is expressed as the number of file descriptors available to a task. On Windows NT and IBM AIX, the number of allowed concurrent connections is generated by the operating system, but is not based on file descriptors. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information.
Threads Waiting to Write to Client	Total number of threads waiting to write to the client. Threads may not be immediately written when the server must pause while sending data to a client. Reasons for a pause include a slow network, a slow client, or an extremely large amount of information being sent to the client.
Threads Waiting to Read from Client	Total number of threads waiting to read from the client. Threads may not be immediately read if the server starts to receive a request from the client and then the transmission of that request is halted for some reason. Generally, threads waiting to read are an indication of a slow network or client.
Thread Concurrency	Meaningful on Solaris 2.x only. Provides an indication of the level of thread concurrency.
Databases in use	Total number of databases being serviced by the server.

Connection Status

The Connection Status table in Directory Server Console provides the following information about the amount of resources in use by each currently open connection:

Table 12-3    Server Performance Monitoring - Connection Status Table  

Table Header	Description
Time opened	Indicates the time on the server when the connection was initially opened.
Started	Indicates the number of operations initiated by this connection.
Completed	Indicates the number of operations completed by the server for this connection.
Bound as	Indicates the distinguished name used by the client to bind to the server. If the client has not authenticated to the server, the server displays not bound in this field.
Read/Write	Indicates whether the server is currently blocked for read or write access to the client. Possible values include: Not blocked. Indicates that the server is idle, actively sending data to the client, or actively reading data from the client. Blocked. Indicates that the server is trying to send data to the client or read data from the client, but cannot. The probable cause is a slow network or client.

Global Database Cache Information

The Global Database Cache Information table in the Directory Server Console contains the following information:

Table 12-4    Server Performance Monitoring - Global Database Cache Table  

Table Header	Description
Hits	Indicates the number of times the server could process a request by obtaining data from the cache rather than by going to the disk.
Tries	The total number of requests performed on your directory since server startup.
Hit Ratio	The ratio of cache tries to successful cache hits. The closer this number is to 100% the better.
Pages read in	Indicates the number of pages read from disk into the cache.
Pages written out	Indicates the number of pages written from the cache back to disk.
Read-only page evicts	Indicates the number of read-only pages discarded from the cache to make room for new pages. Pages discarded from the cache have to be written to disk, possibly affecting server performance. The lower the number of page evicts the better.
Read-write page evicts	Indicates the number of read-write pages discarded from the cache to make room for new pages. This value differs from Pages Written Out in that these are discarded read-write pages that have not been modified. Pages discarded from the cache have to be written to disk, possibly affecting server performance. The lower the number of page evicts the better.

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 objectClass=*
• Search base: cn=monitor
• Search scope: base

For example:

ldapsearch -h directory.example.com -s base -b "cn=monitor" "(objectclass=*)"

For information on searching the Directory Server, see "Using ldapsearch".

The monitoring attributes for your server are found in the cn=monitor,cn=config entry.

When you monitor your server's activities using ldapsearch, you see the following information:

• version: Identifies the directory's current version number.
• threads: Current number of active threads used for handling requests. Additional threads may be created by internal server tasks, such as replication or chaining.
• connection:fd:opentime:opsinitiated:opscompleted:binddn:[rw]: Provides the following summary information for each open connection (only available if you bind to the directory as the Directory Manager ):
• fd—The file descriptor used for this connection.
• opentime—The time this connection was opened.
• opsinitiated—The number of operations initiated by this connection.
• opscompleted—The number of operations completed.
• binddn—The distinguished name used by this connection to connect to the directory.
• rw—The field shown if the connection is blocked for read or write.

By default, this information is available to you only if you bind to the directory as the Directory Manager. However, you can change the ACI associated with this information to allow others to access the information.
 

• currentconnections: Identifies the number of connections currently in service by the directory.
• totalconnections: Identifies the number of connections handled by the directory since it started.
• dtablesize: Shows the number of file descriptors available to the directory. Each connection requires one file descriptor: one for every open index, one for log file management, and one for ns-slapd itself. Essentially, this value lets you know about how many more concurrent connections can be serviced by the directory. For more information on file descriptors, refer to your operating system documentation.
• readwaiters: Identifies the number of threads waiting to read data from a client.
• opsinitiated: Identifies the number of operations the server has initiated since it started.
• opscompleted: Identifies the number of operations the server has completed since it started.
• entriessent: Identifies the number of entries sent to clients since the server started.
• bytessent: Identifies the number of bytes sent to clients since the server started.
• currentime: Identifies the time when this snapshot of the server was taken. The time is displayed in Greenwich mean time (GMT) in UTC format.
• starttime: Identifies the time when the server started. The time is displayed in Greenwich mean time (GMT) in UTC format.
• nbackends: Identifies the number of back ends (databases) the server services.
• concurrency: Solaris 2.x only. Indicates the current level of thread concurrency.
• backendmonitordn: Identifies the DN of each directory database.

Monitoring Database Activity

---

You can monitor your database's current activities from Directory Server Console or from the command line. This section contains the following information:

• Monitoring Database Activity From the Server Console
• Monitoring Databases From the Command Line

Monitoring Database Activity From the Server Console

This section describes how you can use Directory Server Console to view the database performance monitors and what sort of information the performance monitors provide.

Viewing Database Performance Monitors

To monitor your database's activities:

1. On the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab. In the navigation tree, expand the Performance Counters folder and select the database that you want to monitor.

The tab displays current information about database activity. If the server is currently not running, this tab will not provide performance monitoring information.
 

2. Click Refresh to refresh the currently displayed information. If you want the directory to continuously update the displayed information, select the Continuous checkbox and then click Refresh.

Overview of Database Performance Monitor Information

The directory provides database monitoring information as described in the following sections:

• General Information (Database)
• Summary Information Table
• Database Cache Information Table
• Database File-Specific Table

General Information (Database)

The directory provides the following general database information:

• Database—Identifies the type of database that you are monitoring.
• Configuration DN—Identifies the distinguished name that you must use as a search base to obtain these results using the ldapsearch command-line utility.

Summary Information Table

The Summary Information table provides the following information:

Table 12-5    Database Performance Monitoring - Summary Information  

Performance Metric	Current Total
Readonly status	Indicates whether the database is currently in read-only mode. Your database is in read-only mode when the readonly attribute is set to on.
Entry cache hits	Indicates the total number of successful entry cache lookups. That is, the total number of times the server could process a search request by obtaining data from the cache rather than by going to disk.
Entry cache tries	Indicates the total number of entry cache lookups since the directory was last started. That is, the total number of search operations performed against your server since server startup.
Entry cache hit ratio	Ratio that indicates the number of entry cache tries to successful entry cache lookups. This number is based on the total lookups and hits since the directory was last started. The closer this value is to 100% the better. Whenever a search operation attempts to find an entry that is not present in the entry cache, the directory has to perform a disk access to obtain the entry. Thus, as this ratio drops towards zero, the number of disk accesses increases and directory search performance drops. To improve this ratio, you can increase the number of entries that the directory maintains in the entry cache by increasing the value of the "Maximum Entries in Cache" attribute. See "Tuning Database Performance" for information on changing this value using the Server Console.
Current entry cache size (in bytes)	Indicates the total size of directory entries currently present in the entry cache.
Maximum entry cache size (in bytes)	Indicates the size of the entry cache maintained by the directory. This value is managed by the "Maximum Cache Size" attribute. See "Tuning Database Performance" for information on changing this value using the Server Console.
Current entry cache size (in entries)	Indicates the total number of directory entries currently present in the entry cache.
Maximum entry cache size (in entries)	Indicates the maximum number of directory entries that can be maintained in the entry cache. This value is managed by the "Maximum Entries in Cache" attribute. See "Tuning Database Performance" for information on changing this value using the Server Console.

Database Cache Information Table

The Database Cache Information table provides the following caching information:

Table 12-6    Database Performance Monitoring - Database Cache Information  

Performance Metric	Current Total
Hits	Indicates the number of times the database cache successfully supplied a requested page. A page is a buffer of the size 2K.
Tries	Indicates the number of times the database cache was asked for a page.
Hit ratio	Indicates the ratio of database cache hits to database cache tries. The closer this value is to 100%, the better. Whenever a directory operation attempts to find a portion of the database that is not present in the database cache, the directory has to perform a disk access to obtain the appropriate database page. Thus, as this ratio drops towards zero, the number of disk accesses increases and directory performance drops. To improve this ratio, you can increase the amount of data that the directory maintains in the database cache by increasing the value of the "Maximum Cache Size" attribute. See "Tuning Database Performance" for information on changing this value using the Server Console.
Pages read in	Indicates the number of pages read from disk into the database cache.
Pages written out	Indicates the number of pages written from the cache back to disk. A database page is written to disk whenever a read-write page has been modified and then subsequently deleted from the cache. Pages are deleted from the database cache when the cache is full and a directory operation requires a database page that is not currently stored in cache.
Read-only page evicts	Indicates the number of read-only pages discarded from the cache to make room for new pages.
Read-write page evicts	Indicates the number of read-write pages discarded from the cache to make room for new pages. This value differs from Pages Written Out in that these are discarded read-write pages that have not been modified.

Database File-Specific Table

The directory displays a table for each index file that makes up your database. Each of the tables provides the following information:

Table 12-7    Database Performance Monitoring - Database File-Specific table  

Performance Metric	Current Total
Cache hits	Number of times that a search result resulted in a cache hit on this specific file. That is, a client performs a search that requires data from this file and the directory obtains the required data from the cache.
Cache misses	Number of times that a search result failed to hit the cache on this specific file. That is, a search that required data from this file was performed and the required data could not be found in the cache.
Pages read in	Indicates the number of pages brought to the cache from this file.
Pages written out	Indicates the number of pages for this file written from cache to disk.

Monitoring Databases From the Command Line

You can monitor your directory's database activities from any LDAP client by performing a search operation with the following characteristics:

• Search for attribute objectClass=*
• Search base: cn=monitor,cn=database_instance,cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config, where database_instance is the name of the database that you want to monitor
• Search scope: base

For example:

ldapsearch -h directory.example.com -s base -b "cn=monitor,cn=Example,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins, cn=config" "objectclass=*"

In this example, the ldapsearch operation looks for the Example database. For information on searching the directory, see "Using ldapsearch".

When you monitor your server's activities, you see the following information:

• database: Identifies the type of database you are currently monitoring.
• readonly: Indicates whether the database is in read-only mode. 0 indicates that the server is not in read-only mode, 1 indicates that it is in read-only mode.
• entrycachehits: Provides the same information as described in Entry cache hits in Table 12-5.
• entrycachetries: Provides the same information as described in Entry cache tries in Table 12-5.
• entrycachehitratio: Provides the same information as described in "Entry cache hit ratio" in Table 12-5.
• currententrycachesize: Provides the same information as described in "Current entry cache size (in entries)" in Table 12-5.
• maxentrycachesize: Provides the same information as described in "Maximum entry cache size (in entries)" in Table 12-5.
• dbchehits: Provides the same information as described in Hits in Table 12-6.
• dbcachetries: Provides the same information as described in Tries in Table 12-6.
• dbcachehitratio: Provides the same information as described in Hit ratio in Table 12-6.
• dbcachepagein: Provides the same information as described in Pages read in in Table 12-6.
• dbcachepageout: Provides the same information as described in Pages written out in Table 12-6.
• dbcacheroevict: Provides the same information as described in Read-only page evicts in Table 12-6.
• dbcacherwevict: Provides the same information as described in Read-write page evicts in Table 12-6.

Next the following information for each file that makes up your database is displayed:

• dbfilename-number: Indicates the name of the file. number provides a sequential integer identifier (starting at 0) for the file. All associated statistics for the file are given this same numerical identifier.
• dbfilecachehit-number: Provides the same information as described in Cache hits in Table 12-7.
• dbfilecachemiss-number: Provides the same information as described in Cache misses in Table 12-7.
• dbfilepagein-number: Provides the same information as described in Pages read in in Table 12-7.
• dbfilepageout-number: Provides the same information as described in Pages written out in Table 12-7.

Monitoring Database Link Activity

---

You can monitor the activity of your database links from the command line using the monitoring attributes. Use the ldapsearch command-line utility to return the attribute values that interest you. The monitoring attributes are stored in the following entry: cn=monitor,cn=database_link_name,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config.

For example, you can use the ldapsearch command-line utility to retrieve the number of add operations received by a particular database link called DBLink1. First, type the following to change to the directory containing the utility:

cd /usr/netscape/servers/shared/bin

Then, run ldapsearch as follows:

ldapsearch -h directory.example.com -p 389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -s sub -b "cn=monitor,cn=DBLink1,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config" "(objectclass=*)" nsAddCount

Note	The above command should be typed on a single line. It does not appear on one line here because of page size constraints.

You can search for the following database link monitoring attributes:

Table 12-8    Database Link Monitoring Attributes  

Attribute Name	Description
nsAddCount	Number of add operations received.
nsDeleteCount	Number of delete operations received.
nsModifyCount	Number of modify operations received.
nsRenameCount	Number of rename operations received.
nsSearchBaseCount	Number of base level searches received.
nsSearchOneLevelCount	Number of one-level searches received.
nsSearchSubtreeCount	Number of subtree searches received.
nsAbandonCount	Number of abandon operations received.
nsBindCount	Number of bind request received.
nsUnbindCount	Number of unbinds received.
nsCompareCount	Number of compare operations received.
nsOperationConnectionCount	Number of open connections for normal operations.
nsBindConnectionCount	Number of open connections for bind operations.

For more information about ldapsearch, see the Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
