ABANDON
for abandon operation
If the LDAP request resulted in sorting of entries, then the message
SORT serialno
will be recorded
in 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 Type
The LDAP response type indicates the LDAP response being issued by the LDAP client. There are
three possible values:
•
RESULT
•
ENTRY
•
REFERRAL
, an LDAP referral or search reference
Unindexed Search Indicator
The 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. Unindexed
searches 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.
NOTE
An unindexed search indicator is often accompanied by a large
etime
value, as
unindexed searches are generally more time consuming.
VLV-Related Entries
When 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 by
side:
VLV RequestInformation ResponseInformation
RequestInformation
has the following form:
beforeCount:afterCount:index:contentCount
If the client uses a position-by-value VLV request, the format for the first part, the request information
would be
beforeCount: afterCount: value
.
