Error/Symptom Reason Impact Remedy
no supplier can get in,
restart the consumer.
Changelog is getting
too big.
Either changelog
purge is turned off,
which is the default
setting, or changelog
purge is turned on,
but some consumers
are way behind the
supplier.
By default changelog
purge is turned off. To
turn it on from the
command-line, run
ldapmodify as
follows:
dn:
cn=changelog5,cn=config
changetype:
modify
add:
nsslapd-changelogmaxage
nsslapd-changelogmaxage:
1d
where 1d means 1
day. Other valid time
units are s for
seconds, m for
minutes, h for hours,
and w for weeks. A
value of 0 turns off
the purge.
With changelog purge
turned on, a purge
thread that wakes up
every five minutes will
remove a change if its
age is greater than
the value of
nsslapd-changelogmaxage
and if it has been
replayed to all the
direct consumers of
this supplier (supplier
or hub).
If it appears that the
changelog is not
purged when the
purge threshold is
reached, check the
