DX Application Performance Management

We would like to monitoring LDAP with Introscope. I was thinking of an EPAgent that does an ldap query, tracks the response time, and enters some of the query information.

Is anyone aware of an EPAgent for LDAP or another method of monitoring LDAP with Introscope?

Thanks, JKW

I am also interested in this. All help is greatly appreciated.

We have webseals as well as ldap servers.

For IBM LDAP's you can do
ldapsearch -h $hostname -s base -b cn=monitor objectclass=*

I do this in a Perl EPA Extension and write all Numeric Results to a LongCounter

Can you share the EPAgent that you for ldap monitoring?

I cooked up something in java that will bind to an LDAP and calculate the time taken for an predefined query. Let me know if this what you are looking for.

Also, for this to work, you'll need the bind ID and password, and an user ID and password.

Thanks,

We have a fairly extensive moniitoring setup for LDAP using EPA.

We use various lpapsearch commands to pull back a variety of performance data. There scripts are run via cron every 5 minutes and the output is written to a text file.
This text file is then parsed by an EPA scripts and the data below is turned into Wily metric data.

"Bind Access";
"Cache Entries in cache";
"Connections";
"DB Cache hit";
"Entry Cache hit";
"Readers Waiting";
"Response Time";
"Writers Waiting";

We also monitor the time spent executing the ldapsearch itself (using the EPAgent plugin data) and we also monitor basic LDAP process availability.
