Configure Logging OpenLDAP CentOS 6
Configure Logging OpenLDAP CentOS 6
OpenLDAP by default does not configure logging, so we need to do this step manually in order to be able to diagnose problems. Let’s get started, login to your LDAP server and su to root
here are the different levels of logging, and what they mean:
-1 all
0 no logging
1 trace function calls
2 packet-handling debugging
4 heavy trace debuggin
8 connection management
16 packets sent and received
32 search filter processing
64 configuration file processing
256 statistics of connections
512 print entry debugging
** It’s important to understand that if you want to log multiple values, add the sum together, as an example 256+512 = log number you would use below.
from here edit the slapd.conf
configure the log level appropriate for your environment, in this case we are using -1 as an example, you should tune for your environment
setup the log directory in /var/log/slapd
now edit the rsyslog config file
append the following to the very end of the file:
restart the openldap service
restart the rsyslogger
you should be in business now!
check the log file
cat /var/log/slapd/slapd.conf
you should now see logging
that’s it!
