You can view directory service statistics in five categories:
|
|
Global |
|
|
Detailed |
|
|
Operations |
|
|
Associations |
|
|
Interactions |
The statistics available are the same information that is collected by the SNMP agent for the directory.The SNMP agent for the directory does not have to be running for statistics to be collected.
 |
To Monitor Directory Service Statistics |
AdminConsole>SUN Directory Services>LDAP ServerMenu>Statistics>
| 1. | Click the Sun Directory Services icon in the Admin Console home page. |
| 2. | Choose Statistics from the LDAP Server menu in the Admin Console. |
| The Statistics property book is displayed, as shown in FIGURE 6-17. |
| It presents a snapshot of the statistics available. |
| 3. | Click the tab for the category you want to view. |
| 4. | Click Update in the Sections list to get the latest statistics. |
| To update the statistics at regular intervals: |
| a. | Click Auto Update in the Sections list |
| b. | Set the Refresh Interval field |
| c. | Click Start Auto Update |
Note - The Start Auto Update and Stop Auto Update controls apply to viewing the statistics, not to collecting the data. They only apply while the property book is open. If you close the property book, the refresh interval is reset to the default and automatic updating of the statistics view stops.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is not available from the Admin Console since SIMS does not officially support it. However, the directory service component of SIMS supports some SNMP capabilities.
If desired, you can use an SNMP management console to access the management information from the directory service. Before you use the SNMP capabilities to monitor the directory component, you must purchase and install the appropriate SNMP master (relay) agent on the same mail server that the directory SNMP subagent process is installed on.
Rather than monitoring the directory using its SNMP capabilities, Sun recommends monitoring the directory and all other SIMS components using the Administration Console.
The LDAP SNMP Agent supports the Management Information Bases (MIBs) that are part of the Mail And Directory MANagement (MADMAN) standard. In particular, the Sun Internet Mail Server 3.5 SNMP Agent conforms to the Network Services Monitoring MIB (RFC 1565) and the X.500 Directory Monitoring MIB (RFC 1567) that apply to all messaging and directory applications.
