2.3.1.42 nsslapd-errorlog (Error log)

This attribute sets the path and file name of the log used to record error messages generated by the Directory Server. These messages can describe error conditions, but more often they contain informative conditions, such as:

•Server startup and shutdown times.

•The port number that the server uses.

This log contains differing amounts of information depending on the current setting of the Log Level attribute. See “nsslapd-errorlog-level (Error log level)” for more information.
