28 Monitoring LDAP Directory Server

This chapter describes how to monitor and troubleshoot the LDAP directory server (slapd), which provides directory information for Oracle Communications Messaging Server. If slapd is down, the system does not work properly. If slapd response time is too slow, login speed and other transactions that require LDAP lookups are affected.

Symptoms of slapd Problems

  • Client POP, IMAP, or Webmail Authentication fails or slower than expected.

  • MTA not working properly

To Monitor slapd

  • Check that ns-slapd process is running.

  • Check slapd log files access and errors in slapd-instance/logs/.

  • Check the ns-slapd response time while searching for a user.
