Yes, I'm running back-monitor. Thanks for the tip. I didn't try it  
yet, but I only run slapd in the foreground with -d 256 with runit and  
am not interested in any syslog facilities - I only want all of my  
slapd logs to go to stderr (with the exception of auditlog). So, the  
question is that do you know if back-monitor managedInfo sends output  
to slapd's active logging mechanism or will it go to syslog despite my  
wishes?
