mdb_stat question

[Frank Swasey <Frank.Swasey@uvm.edu>]

I have noticed that the mdb_stat (-e parameter) now shows the number of 
pages used, so I can use that instead of running a du and compare it to 
the Max pages value to see how "full" the data.mdb has become.

We use nagios to monitor such things... is there a frequency of running 
mdb_stat that would be too frequent and could cause issues with a 
moderately loaded (handling 14 million operations per day) ldap server?

Should I have nagios not perform the mdb_stat check more frequently than 
some recommended amount of time?

Thanks,
  Frank
