The documentation states that the "server" parameter needs to be set to
the log directory of the slapd instance you want to monitor. Here is
the example from the Admin Guide:
server /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-phonebook/logs
How are you starting the subagent? Are you passing it the full path to
the ldap-agent config file you created? Your command should be
something like:
./ldapagent /opt/redhat-ds/ldap-agent.conf
-NGK
