Description cvuillemez 2020-11-23 08:56:04 UTC 
For auditing purpose, I need to enable "stats" loglevel.
So on heavy load, slapd send lots of events to local syslog socket /dev/log, when compiled with LDAP_SYSLOG (on Debian / Ubuntu).

It worked fine on old systems with a simple syslog service.
But when upgrading on system with journald+syslog, CPU "overhead" becomes totally crazy.

It would be great to have an option at run time to completely disable syslog logging, or/and use a cutom socket, e.g. /run/systemd/journal/syslog to bypass journald service.
