The way DSEE reports notes=U make it very simple for DS admin to find expensive 
unindexed searchs.

So how does DSEE make it easier than 389?

Have you tried the logconv.pl script?

access log search result: notes=U

I imagine that directory server will do an indexed search by uid=bill, get the 
entry and then verify if AllowAccess=Y. To me this kind of search is indexed 
search.

example:

[18/Jan/2013:10:17:24 -0500] conn=124757 op=1 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=?" scope=1 
filter="(&(AllowAccess=Y)(uid=bill))" attrs=ALL
[18/Jan/2013:10:17:24 -0500] conn=124757 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 
etime=0 notes=U

etime=0 confirms that this search is fast.
You might imagine that, but that's not how the server works. It parses
the filter, sees that AllowAccess is unindexed, and uses an unindexed
search.
I tried filter="(&(uid=bill)(AllowAccess=Y))". no more "notes=U". It would be 
great if the server can optimize search filter like I imagine. Because some ldap clients do not allow 
custom search filter.

Thank you.
