Database Plug-in AttributesChapter 3 Plug-in Implemented Server Functionality Reference 141nsslapd-db-logdirectorySpecifies the path and directory name of the directory containing the databasetransaction log. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of allrecent database operations and is used for database recovery only. By default, thedatabase transaction log is stored in the same directory as the directory entriesthemselves,/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/db. For fault-tolerance andperformance reasons you may want to move this log file to another physical disk.The nsslapd-db-logdirectory attribute is absent from dse.ldif. To change thelocation of the database transaction log, you add the attribute to dse.ldif.For more information on database transaction logging, see Chapter 12,“Monitoring Server and Database Activity” in the Netscape Directory ServerAdministrator’s Guide.nsslapd-db-logfile-sizeSpecifies the maximum size of a single file in the log in bytes. By default, or if thevalue is set to 0, a maximum size of 10 MB is used. The maximum size is anunsigned 4-byte value. The value of this attribute can have significant impact onperformance as it can be tuned to avoid extensive log switching in the event ofheavy entries.Example nsslapd-db-logbuf-size: 32KEntry DN cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=configValid Range Any valid path and directory nameDefault Value N/ASyntax DirectoryStringExample nsslapd-db-logdirectory: /logs/txnlogEntry DN cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=configValid Range 0 to unsigned 4-byte integerDefault Value 10MBSyntax IntegerExample nsslapd-db-logfile-size: 10 MB
