At present, there are no standards for publishing monitoring
information via LDAP.  There is, of course, some standardized
MIBs which one can access via SNMP.

I'd be interested in publishing a general approach for
accessing MIBs via LDAP.  And them maybe design some new
MIBs.

I'd also be interested in an (informational?) RFC discussing
some good and bad implementation practices.  One thing that
concerns me is that some implementations publish "cn=monitor"
(and DNs of like DSA specific information trees) as
values of the root DSE namingContexts attribute.  That's
bad as namingContexts is intended specifically for DIT naming
context discovery.
