this worked... (thanks)
# Load dynamic backend modules
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleload: back_monitor.la

but I still can't seem to grok how to add the monitor database... (commented 'changetype' to use ldapadd instead of ldapmodify)

dn: olcDatabase=monitor,cn=config
#changetype: modify
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
add: olcDatabase
olcDatabase: {2}monitor

adding new entry "olcDatabase=monitor,cn=config"
ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17)
	additional info: add: attribute type undefined

and this doesn't work either (using ldapmodify)...
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcDatabase
olcDatabase: {2}monitor

modifying entry "cn=config"
ldap_modify: Object class violation (65)
	additional info: attribute 'olcDatabase' not allowed
