2 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 2 How to present in 33 minutes (or less!) No humor No arbitrary anecdotes No incoherent rambling … but how will we know it is a middleware presentation? That is why there is a page footer. One more thing… Volunteer alarm clock

3 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 3 Presentation Overview Why Monitor Performance What Performance Metrics To Monitor How To Gather Performance Metrics Tools for Performance Monitoring @ ND –Orca –Orcallator –Look

4 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 4 Why Monitor Performance Availability It’s up… isn’t it? –Directories often require 7x24 availability Responsiveness It’s fast enough… maybe. –Directories often require extremely fast response Scalability We can handle that… I think. –Structural changes, indices, increases in the # of entries or # of attributes can all affect performance.

5 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 5 What Performance Metrics To Monitor Response time Connection requests Bind requests Bind errors Search requests Search errors Average count & size of search results Directory Cache Hits Directory Cache Tries Bind response time Search response time Current connections Avg connection length Current binds Current searches # Bytes transmitted # Entries transmitted

6 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 6 How To Gather Performance Metrics Directory internal query (iPlanet, OpenLDAP) base search on cn=monitor ldapsearch -h directory.whatsamattau.edu -b"cn=monitor" -s base objectclass=* objectclass=top objectclass=extensibleObject cn=monitor version=Netscape-Directory/4.16 B01.300.2035 threads=30 currentconnections=27 totalconnections=118499 dtablesize=1024 readwaiters=0

11 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 11 Tools for Performance Monitoring @ ND Orca - http://www.orcaware.comhttp://www.orcaware.com Orcallator (collector for Solaris statistics) Look – LDAP operational Orca “k”ollector

12 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 12 Orca (http://www.orcaware.com) About Orca: Generates web friendly performance graphs based on collected statistical data. Free (will take donations) Open Source Perl Used by Yahoo!/Geocities Used at Notre Dame on 100+ servers Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, All Did I say free?

13 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 13 ORCA @ Notre Dame CRON job runs every 15 minutes to regen graphs Orcallator (SymbEL script included with ORCA) –Written to monitor web servers and Solaris stats –Requires Sun Solaris SE Toolkit (free from http://www.setoolkit.com) http://www.setoolkit.com –Runs on each directory server to collect statistics – 5 minute averages, 30 second peaks –Data is consolidated on one server for ORCA processing –Modifications by ND to read iPlanet Dir Server 4.16 log

14 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 14 ORCA @ Notre Dame ND Modifications -LDAP connection rate -LDAP Bind rate -LDAP Bind error rate -LDAP search rate -LDAP search error rate -LDAP search results returned rate -Picture is worth 1000 words: -Go to

15 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 15 Look – LDAP operational Orca "k"ollector LDAP supplement to Orca and/or Orcallator Perl script Produces Orca compatible output files Processes iPlanet 4.16 log file Queries directory cn=monitor Queries directory cn=monitor, cn=ldbm Beta 0.90 version currently available at http://www.nd.edu/~bbellina/downloads/Look

18 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 18 ORCA Look Graph Example #2: Troubleshooting Daily abuse of open LDAP connections. What is different about the weekend?

19 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 19 ORCA Look Graph Example #3: Troubleshooting How long has this been going on? Week 49. What happened in mid-December? Hmmm…

20 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 20 ORCA Look Graph Example #4: Troubleshooting The culprit has been identified and shot.

21 Base CAMP - February 5-7, 2003Middleware: Directories 21 ORCA Look Graph Example #5: Troubleshooting The sky is blue, the birds are chirping, and all is right with the world.
