Monitor LDAP Service

Miron

Hi,

Is it possible to monitor an LDAP Service by sending test account details and receiving an expected response.

Regards

Yes, it's possible, but we don't have a built-in monitor for it. You can do it via a Windows script monitor.

Has anyone managed to get this working?

LDAP is considered a core service which many applications rely on.
We've had several application outages which may have been related to LDAP being down.
With this monitor, we could prove the root cause to upper management.

IN APM 2.5, we ship a template out of the box that will test that LDAP is up and responding. This version doesn't test a particular user, but it is script-based, so its a start on exactly what you're looking for.

Denny,

That sounds like a great start. Im sure after a while that SW or someone else can make it test a username.

Awesome thanks.
