The Journal is a file that records some of the activity occurring on the Directory Server. It can track usage and help with support issues.
You can choose one of three levels of journaling:
- Errors only (default)
- Errors and warnings
- All information. With this level there is a performance degradation. The scale of the degradation depends on many factors such as file system performance and client traffic; a system with a large number of highly active program clients suffers the most
You set the journaling level using the Configure Options page.
