because your base is wrong. To dump all databases configurations, use:

# ldapsearch -LLLY external -H ldapi:/// -b "cn=config" -s sub -M 
'objectclass=olcDatabaseConfig'  2>/dev/null


To dump only the informations you may interested in:
# ldapsearch -LLLY external -H ldapi:/// -b "cn=config" -s sub -M 
'(&(objectclass=olcDatabaseConfig)(olcSuffix=*))' olcDatabase 
olcDbDirectory olcDbDirectory olcSuffix  2>/dev/null

dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
olcDatabase: {1}hdb
olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap
olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com

Never rely on the ordering numbers in dn and olcDatabase. They may 
change if one add monitor, accesslog or  othher statements to cn=config.
