Hi,
When my dirsrv was trying to compact the databases I was getting this

There are about 402k entries in cn=changelog.
I have a few questions
1) is it normal to have so many entries in cn=changelog? On another
replica I have almost 3M entries Isn't this cleaned up?
2) the number of locks is 50000 (there are two config items). Should I
increase that number? If so, increase to what?
3) is there maybe something else going on, causing the exhaustion of
the locks?
Ok, so by default there is no changelog trimming enabled. So the
changelog will grow without bounds, which is bad.
How much of this [1] applies? Indeed it says "By default the
Replication Changelog does not use any trimming by default."
So, how is the trimming actually enabled? I have these entries
dn: cn=changelog5,cn=config
cn: changelog5
nsslapd-changelogdir: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM/cldb
nsslapd-changelogmaxage: 30d
objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleobject
So trimming is set, but it's set to 30 days (30d), that could/should be
shortened to "7d".
I recommend setting up the changelog max age to 7 days:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/11/html/administration_guide/trimming_the_replication_changelog
Once that the trimming cleans up the changelog the database compaction
should work without issue. You can also increase the database locks to
1 million (that does require a restart of the server to take effect).
Let's hope that 1 million is enough :-)
It might not be, you can keep bumping it up if needed. There is no
limit, or negative impact on db performance.
Mark
HTH,
