It just wants "Database monitor" at the end of your slapd.conf, and it will stop complaining.

Not related, the monitoring backend you access via ldap, gives statistics of slapd operations. Can be very useful for monitoring health of your ldap server the number of queries etc.,

I'd also make sure your log file is writable by the ldap user. Although i think you only need the one log anyway, they probably contain similar stuff, so you double the overhead of writing logs.
