I have a prometheus server and I am trying to setup an alert to test
if an ldap search succeeds. Searching there seems to be a few exporters (389ds exporter,
openldap exporter ) but all rather old and I'm struggling to get any useful metrics
out of them.
Could anyone recommend a good way to achieve this (preferably not putting a password a
text file), afraid I've had a good search, but struggling to find a good way to do
this.
Is what you're trying to test covered by one of the tests within
ipa-healthcheck? If so then process its output into a file that you
ingest via the textfile collector of the node exporter.
If not then if you've only got a few 'smoke test' type queries & you
simply, want to test whether they work, one way is to create a script
using e.g., ldapsearch and use SASL EXTERNAL authentication; run this on
a schedule and again have it produce files ingested via the textfile
collector.
# ldapwhoami -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi://%2frun%2fslapd-IPA-EXAMPLE-COM.socket
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
dn: cn=Directory Manager
EXTERNAL authentication, in conjunction with ldapi authenticates the
client based on the uid/gid of the client process, so you don't need to
deal with any users/passwords.
