Full_Name: Gavin Henry Version: N/A OS: N/A URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (80.229.93.1) Submitted by: ghenry Hi all, Just a quick note to say it would be nice to be able to break out loglevel 256 i.e. Log just writes. The same as accesslog config. Thanks, Gavin.

Are you thinking of something like a read/write/auth flag, plus possibly a success/failure flag, or a per-operation granularity? Wouldn't it make sense to entirely give up syslog'ging and use slapo-accesslog instead? p. Ing.

It's more to not lot searches, but writes, as 256 can really fill up your logfile. > Wouldn't it make sense to entirely give up syslog'ging and use > slapo-accesslog instead? For some users, yes. But having the phyiscal log is appealing too. Thanks. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. OpenLDAP Engineering Team.

I still see some value in text messages going to syslog. Configuration issues are sometimes more obvious if you see the syslog messages of LDAP-enabled components and the LDAP server one after the other in the same log. Ciao, Michael.

I meant "give up" by not looking at logs for Gavin's purposes, not to eradicate them from the code. Modifying "stats" logging would not probably be a big issue, if we define a specific mask: one bit for each operation, and one bit for success/failure. p. Ing.
