Table 66 Server monitoring attributes (continued)
DescriptionAttribute
Identifies the number of connections handled by the directory since it started.totalconnections
Shows the number of file descriptors available to the directory. Each connection requires
one file descriptor: one for every open index, one for log file management, and one for
dtablesize
ns-slapd itself. Essentially, this value shows how many additional concurrent connections
can be serviced by the directory. For more information on file descriptors, refer to the
maxfiles_lim(5) manpage.
Identifies the number of threads waiting to read data from a client.readwaiters
Identifies the number of operations the server has initiated since it started.opsinitiated
Identifies the number of operations the server has completed since it started.opscompleted
Identifies the number of entries sent to clients since the server started.entriessent
Identifies the number of bytes sent to clients since the server started.bytessent
Identifies the time when this snapshot of the server was taken. The time is displayed in
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in UTC format.
currentime
Identifies the time when the server started. The time is displayed in Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT) in UTC format.

Identifies the number of back-ends (databases) the server services.nbackends
Identifies the DN of each directory database.backendmonitordn
14.6 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” (page
529).
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.
14.6.1 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.
