19 To inspect all monitor information, issue a subtree search with base
20 cn=Monitor, requesting that attributes "+" and "*" are returned.
21 The monitor backend produces mostly operational attributes, and LDAP
22 only returns operational attributes that are explicitly requested.
23 Requesting attribute "+" is an extension which requests all operational

32 subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
34 As opposed to most databases, the
36 database can be instantiated only once, i.e. only one occurrence

75 configure \-\-enable\-monitor
79 2) activate the \fBmonitor\fP database in the \fBslapd.conf\fP(5) file:
87 3) add ACLs as detailed in \fBslapd.access\fP(5) to control access to the database, e.g.:
91 access to dn.subtree="cn=Monitor"
92 by dn.exact="uid=Admin,dc=my,dc=org" write
98 4) ensure that the \fBcore.schema\fP file is loaded.
101 backend relies on some standard track attributeTypes
102 that must be already defined when the backend is started.
106 backend honors access control semantics as indicated in
107 .BR slapd.access (5),
110 access privilege, on all currently implemented operations.
111 .SH KNOWN LIMITATIONS
114 backend does not honor size/time limits in search operations.
