command-line options required (see Options).
Some information that is extracted by the logconv.pl script is available only in logs from
current releases of Directory Server; the corresponding values will be zero when analyzing logs
from older versions. In addition, some information will only be present in the logs if verbose
logging is enabled in the Directory Server. For more information, see Section 3.1.2,
“nsslapd-accesslog-level”.
The following issues will affect the output and performance of this tool:
• Some data extracted from logs depend on connection and operation numbers that are reset
and no longer unique after a server restarts. Therefore, to obtain the most accurate counts,
the logs to be analyzed should not span the restart of the Directory Server.
• Due to changes in access log format in current releases of Directory Server that affected
operation numbers, the tool will be more accurate logs from current versions when processing
large amounts of access logs.
• For performance reasons, it is not recommended to run more than one gigabyte of access
logs through the script at any one time.

Option Description
-d mgrDN Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the
Directory Manger in the logs being analyzed.
This allows the tool to collect statistics for this
special user. The mgrDN parameter should
be given in double quotes ("") for the shell.
When this parameter is omitted, logconv.pl
will use the default manager DN of the
Directory Server, "cn=Directory Manager".
-E endTimestamp Specifies the end timestamp; the timestamp
must follow the exact format as specified in
the access log.
-h Displays the usage help text that briefly
describes all options.
