7.4.8 logconv.pl (Log converter)
Analyzes the access logs of a Directory Server to extract usage statistics and count the occurrences
of significant events. It is compatible with log formats from previous releases of Directory Server.
For information on access logs, see Chapter 5 “Log file reference”.
NOTE:
The logconv.pl script is in the /opt/dirsrv/bin directory.
The tool will extract the following information from access logs:

The logconv.pl tool displays two types of statistics useful for monitoring and optimizing
directory usage:
• Simple counts of events such as the total number of binds and the total number of searches
provide overall usage information. This is the basic information that the tool will always
print.
• Lists of the most frequently occurring parameters in LDAP requests provide insight into
how the directory information is being accessed. For example, lists of the top ten bind DNs,
