OpenLDAP Quick Tips: OpenLDAP Logfile analysis

Hi All,

Here's the 14th tip in the "OpenLDAP Quick Tips" series and today it comes from "Pablo Chamorro":

"You want to analyse your OpenLDAP logfile":

There are various ways to do this yourself by hand, but the have community already done the work for you and written the:

OpenLDAP Logfile analysis utility:

ldap^[?]-stats.pl is a Perl program that can be used to analyze and report on OpenLDAP logfiles. The available reports include: operations (e.g., Connect, Bind, Unbind) performed per host, unindexed searches, attributes requested, search filters used, total operations per server, and operation breakdowns by day, hour and month.

A short sample output would look like:

CODE:

[root@suretec ~]# ./ldap^[?]-stats.pl /var/log/openldap.log Report Generated on Mon Dec 1 14:57:43 2008 -------------------------------------------- Processed "/var/log/openldap.log": Apr 5 00:01:50 - Dec 1 08:39:33 Operation totals ---------------- Total operations : 19258 Total connections : 7061 Total authentication failures : 2358 Total binds : 4403 Total unbinds : 6661 Total searches : 7849 Total compares : 0 Total modifications : 215 Total modrdns : 0 Total additions : 128 Total deletions : 2 Unindexed attribute requests : 0 Operations per connection : 2.73 ..... ..... .....

A longer sample is available.

Thanks,

Gavin.

These tips are a good resource. Have you got a suggestion on how to audit OpenLDAP for changes: who modified what at what times..

If there is a tool available, great, if not, it would be a good tip to demonstrate some easy log-parsing.
