HP UX Red Hat Direry Server Software manual Maximum Entries in Cache attribute

Chapter 13. Monitoring Server and Database Activity

Attribute	Description
	increases, and directory search performance
	drops. To improve this ratio, increase the
	number of entries that the directory maintains
	in the entry cache by increasing the value of
	the Maximum Entries in Cache attribute.
	See Section 2, “Tuning Database
	Performance” for information on changing this
	value using the Directory Server Console.
currententrycachesize	The total size of directory entries currently
	present in the entry cache.
maxentrycachesize	The maximum number of directory entries that
	can be maintained in the entry cache. This
	value is managed by the Maximum Entries
	in Cache setting. See Section 2, “Tuning
	Database Performance” for information on
	changing this value using the Directory Server
	Console.
dbchehits	The number of times the server could process
	a request by obtaining data from the cache
	rather than by going to the disk.
dbcachetries	The total number of requests performed on
	the directory since server startup.
dbcachehitratio	The ratio of cache tries to successful cache
	hits. The closer this number is to 100%, the
	better.
dbcachepagein	The number of pages read from disk into the
	cache.
dbcachepageout	The number of pages written from the cache
	back to disk.
dbcacheroevict	The number of read-only pages discarded
	from the cache to make room for new pages.
	Pages discarded from the cache have to be
	written to disk, possibly affecting server
	performance. The lower the number of page
	evicts the better.
dbcacherwevict	The number of read-write pages discarded
	from the cache to make room for new pages.
	This value differs from Pages Written Out in
	that these are discarded read-write pages that
	have not been modified. Pages discarded
	from the cache have to be written to disk,
	possibly affecting server performance. The
