That's what I'm doing (every 10 minutes).

That only works if slurpd itself hasn't locked up. If slurpd locks up (and I've had this happen), then the status stay the same, and the slurpd replog file stays the same.

My solution was to monitor the size of the slapd replog and the slurpd replog. If either gets particularly large (for some value of large you want to define), then I send out an alert. I've found that to be quite effective.
