Administration Express - Replication Monitor
To Monitor Replication Status from Administration Express
The configuration file contains a mandatory section for ldap connection parameters, and two optional sections for ldap server aliases and time lag colors. Connection parameters for all the servers in a replication topology should be specified within a configuration file. A configuration file, however, may contain information for multiple replication topology.
SYNOPSIS
[connection]
host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
...
[alias]
alias = host:port
alias = host:port
...
[color]
lowmark = color
lowmark = color
...
DESCRIPTION
The connection section specifies how the tool may
connect to each ldap server in the replication
topology to get the replication agreement. This
section is mandatory. The default binddn is
'cn=Directory Manager'. Simple bind will be used
unless bindcert is specified as the pathname of
a cert db.
A server may have a dedicated or a share entry
in the connection section. The script will find
out the most matched entry for a given server.
For example, if all the ldap servers except host1
share the same binddn and password, the connection
section then needs just two entries:
[connection]
*:*:binddn:password:
host1:*:binddn1:password1:
The optional alias section gives nicknames to ldap
servers' url. Thus instead of displaying url
"http(s)://hostname-domainname:port", the status
report may display "Master 1", "Hub" and alike.
CSN time lags between masters and consumers might
be displayed in different colors based on their ranges.
The default color set is green for [0-5) minutes lag,
yellow [5-60), and pink 60 and more.
EXAMPLE
[connection]
*:*:*:mypassword
[alias]
M1 = host1.example.com:10011
C1 = host4.example.com:10021
C2 = host2.example.com:10022
[color]
0 = #ccffcc
5 = #FFFFCC
60 = #FFCCCC
