15 is not an actual database; if enabled, it is automatically generated
16 and dynamically maintained by
18 with information about the running status of the daemon.
20 To inspect all monitor information, issue a subtree search with base
21 cn=Monitor, requesting that attributes "+" and "*" are returned.
22 The monitor backend produces mostly operational attributes, and LDAP
23 only returns operational attributes that are explicitly requested.
24 Requesting attribute "+" is an extension which requests all operational
32 That is, they must follow a "database monitor" line and come before any
33 subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
35 As opposed to most databases, the
37 database can be instantiated only once, i.e. only one occurrence
38 of "database monitor" can occur in the

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