Deprecated since DS 7.1.3
-
The following Prometheus counter metrics are deprecated:
-
ds_connection_handlers_ldap_abandoned_requests{ldap_handler}
-
ds_replication_replica_replayed_internal_updates{domain_name,server_id}
-
ds_replication_replica_replayed_updates_conflicts_resolved
-
ds_replication_replica_replayed_updates_conflicts_unresolved
-
ds_replication_replica_sent_updates
-
ds_replication_replica_updates_already_in_progress{domain_name,server_id}
They are expected to be replaced with metrics whose names end in

Deprecated since DS 7.1.0 or earlier
-
The previous format for password file options is deprecated. The options remain supported until removal, but are now hidden in online help. This affects the following options:
Deprecated Form Use This Form --bindPasswordFile
--bindPassword:file
--deploymentKeyPasswordFile
--deploymentKeyPassword:file
--keyStorePasswordFile
--keyStorePassword:file
--monitorUserPasswordFile
--monitorUserPassword:file
--rootUserPasswordFile
--rootUserPassword:file
--trustStorePasswordFile
--trustStorePassword:file
-
The Elasticsearch and Splunk audit handlers are deprecated and likely to be removed in a future release.
For recommended alternatives, see Third-Party Software.
-
The
dsrepl add-local-server-to-pre-7-0-topology
command--masterKeyPairCertAlias
and--rootCaCertAlias
options are deprecated. The command now finds the certificates by introspecting the configuration.The options are now hidden in online help.
The following are deprecated since DS 7 and likely to be removed in a future release:
-
Support for SNMP.
DS software provides better options for monitoring servers, including support for Prometheus, Graphite, LDAP, and JMX. For details, see Monitoring.
DS server software also includes a sample monitoring dashboard for Prometheus and Grafana, which is described in
opendj/samples/grafana/README.md
. -
The
pwdValidatorPolicy
object class.For subentry password policies, use the object classes derived from
ds-pwp-validator
instead. -
Reversible password storage schemes, and the
cn=admin data
base DN andadminData
backend used to support them. This includes the following password storage schemes:-
3DES
-
AES
-
Blowfish
-
RC4
-
-
The HTTP monitoring endpoint,
/admin/monitor
.Use
/metrics/api
or/metrics/prometheus
instead. -
LDAP metrics:
-
ds-mon-approx-oldest-change-not-synchronized
-
ds-mon-approximate-delay
-
ds-mon-missing-changes
-
-
Prometheus metrics:
-
ds_replication_changelog_connected_replicas_approx_oldest_change_not_synchronized_seconds
-
ds_replication_changelog_connected_replicas_approximate_delay_seconds
-
ds_replication_changelog_connected_replicas_missing_changes
In mixed topologies, a directory server version 6 or earlier connected to a replication server version 6.5 or later cannot consume messages about other servers going offline. The monitoring framework reflects this as a delay on the directory server that could not consume the message.
The delay is calculated correctly again once all servers in the topology are upgraded to at least version 6.5, or when the offline server comes back online and has seen a change to directory data.
Monitor replication delay instead of using the deprecated metrics. For details, see Replication Delay (LDAP) or Replication Delay (Prometheus).
