Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference
12
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values • 0 - No access logging
• 4 - Logging for internal access operations
• 256 - Logging for connections, operations, and
results
• 512 - Logging for access to an entry and
referrals
• 131072 - Provides microsecond operation
timing
• These values can be added together to
provide the exact type of logging required;
for example, 516 (4 + 512) to obtain internal
access operation, entry access, and referral
logging.
Default Value 256
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-accesslog-level: 256
2.3.1.3. nsslapd-accesslog-list (List of Access Log Files)
This read-only attribute, which cannot be set, provides a list of access log files used in access log
rotation.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values
Default Value None
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-accesslog-list: accesslog2,accesslog3
2.3.1.4. nsslapd-accesslog-logbuffering (Log Buffering)
When set to off, the server writes all access log entries directly to disk. Buffering allows the server
to use access logging even when under a heavy load without impacting performance. However, when
debugging, it is sometimes useful to disable buffering in order to see the operations and their results
right away instead of having to wait for the log entries to be flushed to the file. Disabling log buffering
can severely impact performance in heavily loaded servers.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values on | off
Default Value on
