Did you ever read the ldif(5) manpage or RFC2849? Both document very well 
(the RFC even with examples) the differences between LDIF entry records 
and change records. When using ldapadd the input file needs to be entry 
records (hint: those don't have those add/replace/delete: <attrtype> 
lines).

This one is completely bogus, your LDIF is telling slapd to add an 
attribute "olcDatabase: {2}monitor" to the entry "cn=config". But in 
reality you want to create a new entry with the DN: 
"olcDatabase=monitor,cn=config"
