here's how I configured it on my slapd.conf

database        monitor
access to dn.subtree=cn=monitor
     by dn.exact=cn=admin,dc=int-evry,dc=fr write
     by dn.subtree=dc=int-evry,dc=fr read
     by * none


And here's a doc I wrote to integrate monitored data in web graphs using 
mrtg/rrd and perl :

http://www.int-evry.fr/mci/user/procacci/Doc/monitor-snmp-ldap-rrd-en.html#htoc10

indeed, it's a very valuable tool , exept that I'am still looking for a 
description in the monitor that would tell us how many slapd threads a 
active !?
