is not an actual database; if enabled, it is automatically generated

and dynamically maintained by

with information about the running status of the daemon.

To inspect all monitor information, issue a subtree search with base

cn=Monitor, requesting that attributes "+" and "*" are returned.
21
The monitor backend produces mostly operational attributes, and LDAP
22
only returns operational attributes that are explicitly requested.
23
Requesting attribute "+" is an extension which requests all operational

That is, they must follow a "database monitor" line and come before any

subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.

As opposed to most databases, the

database can be instantiated only once, i.e. only one occurrence

of "database monitor" can occur in the

1) enable the \fBmonitor\fP backend at configure:

configure --enable-monitor

2) activate the \fBmonitor\fP database in the \fBslapd.conf\fP(5) file:

3) add ACLs as detailed in \fBslapd.access\fP(5) to control access to the database, e.g.:
91
access to dn.subtree="cn=Monitor"
92
by dn.exact="uid=Admin,dc=my,dc=org" write

4) ensure that the \fBcore.schema\fP file is loaded.

backend relies on some standard track attributeTypes
102
that must be already defined when the backend is started.

backend honors access control semantics as indicated in

backend does not honor size/time limits in search operations.
