OpenLDAP

Auto-Detection
Built-in Metrics

Bleemeo monitors OpenLDAP through automatic service detection and built-in metrics gathered from the slapd monitoring backend.

Auto-Detection

Section titled “Auto-Detection”

Glouton automatically detects OpenLDAP instances running on the host. To enable metrics gathering, you must enable the slapd monitoring backend and configure a bind DN and password in the agent configuration.

If the auto-detected parameters are incorrect or you need to configure metrics gathering, you can override them manually.

Terminal window
sudo tee /etc/glouton/conf.d/99-openldap.conf > /dev/null << 'EOF'
service:
  # For an OpenLDAP running outside a container
  - type: "openldap"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 389
    # DN/password to bind with. If username is empty, an anonymous bind is performed.
    username: "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org"
    password: "adminpassword"
    # Use LDAPS (note that port will likely need to be changed to 636)
    ssl: true
    # Use StartTLS (you cannot enable both ssl and starttls at the same time)
    starttls: true
    # Skip host certificate verification
    ssl_insecure: true
    # Path to PEM-encoded root certificate to verify the server certificate
    ca_file: "/myca"


  # For an additional OpenLDAP running outside a container
  - type: "openldap"
    instance: "NAME_ASSOCIATED_WITH_YOUR_ADDITIONAL_SERVICE"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 390
