nsslapd-db-checkpoint-interval

database checkpoint interval

Description

The amount of time in seconds after which Directory Server sends a checkpoint record to the database transaction log. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of all recent database operations and is used for database recovery only. A checkpoint record indicates which database operations have been physically written to the directory database. The checkpoint records are used to determine where in the database transaction log to begin recovery after a system failure. The nsslapd-db-checkpoint-interval attribute is absent from dse.ldif. To change the checkpoint interval, you add the attribute to dse.ldif. This attribute can be dynamically modified using ldapmodify.

This attribute is provided only for system modification and diagnostics. It should be changed only with the guidance of engineering staff and Professional Services. Inconsistent settings of this attribute and other configuration attributes may cause Directory Server to be unstable.
