Chapter 18. Monitoring

To deploy a reliable directory service that meets your users' expectations, you need to develop and implement a monitoring strategy. Your monitoring system should help you attain two main goals:

  • To quickly detect and allow you to remedy failures of your directory service

  • To anticipate and resolve potential problems before they result in failure

In this chapter, we first discuss general monitoring principles and the various types of monitoring strategies you might use. Then, we cover the various types of monitoring systems available, including off-the-shelf network monitoring systems and custom monitoring tools. Next, we cover the topic of notification, in which you inform the appropriate people about any problems detected. Then, we discuss how to proceed when a failure or degradation of service is detected . We conclude with a simple monitoring tool, written in Perl, that you can use as a starting point for developing your own custom monitoring system.
