NAME
       slapd-monitor - Monitor backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The  monitor backend to ssllaappdd(8) is not an actual database; if enabled,
       it is automatically generated and dynamically maintained by slapd  with
       information about the running status of the daemon.


CCOONNFFIIGGUURRAATTIIOONN
       These  ssllaappdd..ccoonnff  options apply to the monitor backend database.  That
       is, they must follow a "database monitor" line and come before any sub-
       sequent  "backend"  or "database" lines.  As opposed to most databases,
       the monitor database can be  instantiated  only  once,  i.e.  only  one
       occurrence  of  "database monitor" can occur in the ssllaappdd..ccoonnff(5) file.
       Moreover, the suffix of the database cannot be explicitly set by  means
       of  the  ssuuffffiixx directive; on the contrary, the suffix is automatically
       set to "cn=Monitor".

       The mmoonniittoorr database honors the rroooottddnn and the rroooottppww  directives,  and
       the usual ACL directives, e.g. the aacccceessss directive.

       The following directives can be used:

       ll <>
              The  <>  string  is  added  to the "cn=Monitor" entry as
              value of the  ll  attribute  (Note:  this  may  be  subjected  to
              changes).

       Other  database options are described in the ssllaappdd..ccoonnff(5) manual page.

UUSSAAGGEE
       The usage is:

       1) enable the monitor backend at configure:

              configure -enable-monitor

       2) activate the monitor database in the
              ssllaappdd..ccoonnff(5) file:

              database monitor

       3) add ACLs as detailed in
              ssllaappdd..aacccceessss(5) to control access to the database, e.g.:

              access to dn.subtree="cn=Monitor"
                   by dn.exact="uid=Admin,dc=my,dc=org" write
                   by users read
                   by * none

       4) ensure that the ccoorree..sscchheemmaa file is loaded.
              The monitor backend relies on some standard track attributeTypes
              that must be already defined when the backend is started.

KKNNOOWWNN LLIIMMIITTAATTIIOONNSS
       The  monitor  backend  does not honor size/time limits in search opera-
       tions.
