Connection Description
The connection description, in this case conn=Internal, indicates that the connection is an internal
connection. The operation number op=-1 also indicates that the operation was initiated internally.
[12/Jul/2009:16:45:46 +0200] conn=Internal op=-1 ENTRY
dn="cn=\22dc=example,dc=com\22, cn=mapping tree, cn=config"
Options Description
The options description (options=persistent) indicates that a persistent search is being performed,
as distinguished from a regular search operation. Persistent searches can be used as a form of
monitoring and configured to return changes to given configurations as changes occur; this is explained
more in the ldapsearch chapter of the Administrator's Guide.
Both log levels 512 and 4 are enabled for this example, so both internal access operations and entry
access and referrals being logged.
