What is 389ds?

389ds is an LDAP server and the drop-in replacement for RedHat dirsrv.

Installation

From source

See building section

Binaries and packages

Each tag is also a release. The package is manually built and uploaded. Currently, we only support RPM based package managers (dnf/yum). See releases.

Observability

This repository contains the following projects

• exporter-389ds-rs: Prometheus exporter for the 389ds
• nagios-389ds-rs: Nagios plugin for the 389ds.

Supported features

• cn=monitor based checks and metrics
• connection metrics with labeled information about connection DN and IP address
• replication based checks and metrics
• GID number metrics and checks - missing primary GIDs
• dsctl command based metrics and checks
• custom command metrics and checks
• integrity checks of custom commands

Grafana dashboards

In addition to the binaries this repository also provides grafana dashboards. You can see them inside the grafana-389ds-rs directory.

Exporter usage

Options:
  -c, --config <CONFIG>
  -P, --page-size <PAGE_SIZE>
  -C, --skip-cert-verification

          [possible values: replication, ldap-monitor, gids-info, dsctl]
  -d, --disable-flags <DISABLE_FLAGS>
          [possible values: replication, ldap-monitor, gids-info, dsctl]
  -h, --help
          Print help (see more with '--help')

Nagios plugin usage

Perform nagios checks on the 389ds. All limits are using >= or <= comparsions, unless stated otherwise

  missing-gids            Check if there are primary gids that are not present as posixGroup
  connections             Check number of active connections
  errors                  Check cumber of errors: Errors + SecurityErrors + BindSecurityErrors
  recent-restart          Check if daemon has been recently restarted
  diskspace               Check if disk space is low (declared by the daemon)
  cli-healthcheck         Check health using dsctl cli
  custom-query-time       Check custom query times
  custom-query-integrity  Check custom query integrity
  help                    Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -c, --config <CONFIG>
  -C, --skip-cert-verification  Disable TLS cert verification
  -H, --host <HOST>
  -D, --binddn <BINDDN>
  -w, --bindpass <BINDPASS>
  -b, --basedn <BASEDN>
  -P, --page-size <PAGE_SIZE>
  -h, --help                   Print help

Configuration

Both the exporter and the nagios plugin will rather work without any configuration. To configure more checks/metrics and support non-standard deployments, tools can be configured by TOML file or CLI options. Example file can be found int the root of the repository. Every key below is optional, unless stated otherwise.

Building and packaging

cargo xtask dist

Build dependencies

• The binaries are made ONLY for linux based monitoring/389ds. They may work for other systems, but have not been tested.
• rustc and cargo
• The binaries are built against musl target

Development

Pre-commit hooks

To setup git hooks run

cargo xtask setup-repo

• taplo for the toml formatting
• gitleaks for passwords in repo detection

Commiting

• Pre commit hooks check for different formatting issues and passwords in the repository.
• In order to fix formatting issues run cargo xtask fmt.
