Chapter 5. Log File Reference222• ABANDON for abandon operationIf the LDAP request resulted in sorting of entries, then the message SORT serialno will be recordedin the log, followed by the number of candidate entries that were sorted. For example:[04/May/2009:15:51:46 -0700] conn=114 op=68 SORT serialno (1)The number enclosed in parentheses specifies the number of candidate entries that were sorted,which in this case is 1.LDAP Response TypeThe LDAP response type indicates the LDAP response being issued by the LDAP client. There arethree possible values:• RESULT• ENTRY• REFERRAL, an LDAP referral or search referenceUnindexed Search IndicatorThe unindexed search indicator, notes=U, indicates that the search performed was unindexed,which means that the database itself had to be directly searched instead of the index file. Unindexedsearches occur in three scenarios:• When the nsslapd-idlistscanlimit was reached within the index file used for the search.• When no index file existed.• When the index file was not configured in the way required by the search.NOTEAn unindexed search indicator is often accompanied by a large etime value, asunindexed searches are generally more time consuming.VLV-Related EntriesWhen a search involves virtual list views (VLVs), appropriate entries are logged in the access log file.Similar to the other entries, VLV-specific entries show the request and response information side byside:VLV RequestInformation ResponseInformationRequestInformation has the following form:beforeCount:afterCount:index:contentCountIf the client uses a position-by-value VLV request, the format for the first part, the request informationwould be beforeCount: afterCount: value.
