The Directory Server ships with a built-in Stats Logger that is useful for
profiling server performance for a given configuration. At a specified interval, the Stats
Logger can write server statistics to a JSON file or to a log file in a comma-separated
format (.csv), which can be read by spreadsheet applications. The logger has a negligible
impact on server performance unless the log-interval
property is set to a
very small value (less than 1 second). The statistics logged and their verbosity can be
customized.
The Stats Logger can also be used to view historical information about server statistics including
replication, LDAP operations, host information, and gauges. Either update the configuration of the existing
Stats Logger Plugin to set the advanced gauge-info
property to
basic/extended
to include this information, or create a dedicated
Periodic Stats Logger for information about statistics of interest.
For information about how to enable this logging and where to find the log file, see To Enable the Stats Logger.
