listindexes.pl for dsee7

This is a script to take the output of Directory Server Enterprise Edition’s dsconf list-indexes -v and turns it into a csv. Besides making a nice report, the output can also be used for comparing indexes on different DSEE directories and as input to a script that formats index creation and modification commands. In other words, endless fun. Here is the script, be mindful that like everything else on this site I only care if it works for me. It does. Create input by running:

dsconf list-indexes -h localhost -p 389 -v dc=example,dc=com

Then modify the script for items like file paths, etc.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# listindexes2csv.pl
# Parses long form index list created with dsconf list-indexes -v and makes csv
# suitable for running through setindexes.pl script.
# Data: ATTR_NAME eq-enabled  pres-enabled  sub-enabled  approx-enabled  system
# Trim header and any indexes you don't want before parsing.

__END__;

What you’ll wind up with is a file whose data looks something like this:

cn,pres eq sub
entrydn,eq
givenName,pres eq sub
mail,pres eq sub

and so on. And yes, I know, I could use a refresher in how to handle perl arrays.
