14.4 Monitoring database activity
The database's current activities can be monitored through Directory Server Console or from the
command line.
NOTE:
Some of the counters for Directory Server database attributes monitored by server use 64-bit
integers, even on 32-bit systems:
• entrycachehits
• entrycachetries
• currententrycachesize
• maxentrycachesize
Using 64-bit integers with Directory Server counters is configured with the nsslapd-counters
configuration attribute, as described in “Enabling and disabling 64-bit integers for counters”.
The counters that use 64-bit integers are not configurable; the 64-bit integers are either enabled
for all the allowed counters or disabled for all allowed counters.
14.4.1 Monitoring database activity from the Directory Server Console
To monitor the activities of the database:
1. In the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab.
2. In the navigation tree, expand the Performance Counters folder, and select the database
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.
