Starting the Subagent

agentx-master localhost:705

3.1.2. agent-logdir

The agent-logdirsetting specifies the directory where the subagent will write its logfile. For example:

agent-logdir /var/log

If this parameter is not specified, the agent will write its logfile to the same location as your subagent configuration file. The logfile will be named ldap-agent.log.

Make sure that the user as whom your subagent is running has write permission to this directory.

3.1.3. server

The server setting specifies a Directory Server instance that you want to monitor. You must use one server setting for each Directory Server instance. The subagent requires at least one server setting to be specified in its configuration file. The server setting should be set to the name of the Directory Server instance you would like to monitor. For example:

server slapd-phonebook

To monitor multiple Directory Server instances, an additional server parameter in the subagent configuration file for each instance.

server slapd-phonebook

server slapd-example

server slapd-directory

3.2. Starting the Subagent

Once your master agent is running and you have created your subagent configuration file, start the subagent. To start your subagent, run the ldap-agentprogram, specifying the absolute path to the subagent configuration file as an argument. For example:

ldap-agent /etc/dirsrv/config/ldap-agent.conf

To enable extra debug logging, specify the -Doption during startup:

ldap-agent -D /etc/dirsrv/config/ldap-agent.conf
