Well, that information is only available since OpenLDAP 2.4; I infer 
you're using an earlier distribution.  In any case, the monitor has 
nothing to do with the entry cache configuration, it only shows the 
current usage.  Refer to slapd.conf or back-config for what is 
configured for your system.
