nsslapd-db-logdirectory

database transaction log directory

Description

The path to the directory containing the database transaction log. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of all recent database operations and is used for database recovery only. By default, the database transaction log is stored in the same directory as the directory entries themselves, instance-path/db.

For fault-tolerance and performance reasons, you can move this log file to another physical disk. The nsslapd-db-logdirectory attribute is absent from dse.ldif. To change the location of the database transaction log, add the attribute to dse.ldif.

Note:

You must be prepared to export all databases to LDIF, remove existing databases, and re-import all databases from LDIF when modifying this attribute.
