Configuration
Edit the python.d/openldap.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the Netdata config
directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/openldap.conf
Sample:
openldap:
name : 'local'
username : "cn=monitor,dc=superb,dc=eu"
password : "testpass"
server : 'localhost'
port : 389
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the openldap
module, run the python.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The
output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.
First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's
not the case on your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the setting plugins directory
. Once you're in the
plugin's directory, switch to the netdata
user.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
Now you can manually run the openldap
module in debug mode:
./python.d.plugin openldap debug trace
