Definition -- Monitor Entry

Definition: Monitor Entry

A monitor entry is a type of entry in the server that provides information about a server component. It may provide statistical information for performance monitoring, information about the health of the server, or other information that could be of value.

Sun OpenDS SE provides a general-purpose monitor entry with a DN of "cn=monitor". A number of other monitor entries exist below that point, including:

  • Information about each backend configured in the server
  • Information about each connection handler configured in the server
  • General information about the system on which the server is running
  • Information about the state of the server work queue
  • Version information for the server
  • A stack trace of all threads currently active in the server
