Problem

It looks like you’re encountering an LDAP error during the modification of a Univention object related to monitoring. The specific error is ldap.TYPE_OR_VALUE_EXISTS with the message Type or value exists: univentionMonitoringAlertHosts: value #1 provided more than once.

This error typically indicates that you are trying to add a value to an attribute that already exists or is not allowed to have multiple values. In your case, it seems to be related to the univentionMonitoringAlertHosts attribute.

Object exists: cn=UNIVENTION_LISTENER_MDB_MAXSIZE_METRIC_MISSING,cn=monitoring,dc=univention,dc=local

Solution

  1. Verify Correct DN: Ensure that the DN (Distinguished Name) provided to the udm monitoring/alert modify command is correct and corresponds to the entry you intend to modify. Double-check the DN to avoid any typos or mistakes.
 univention-ldapsearch -LLLb 'cn=UNIVENTION_DISK_ROOT_METRIC_MISSING,cn=monitoring,dc=univention,dc=local' univentionMonitoringAlertHosts

dn: cn=UNIVENTION_DISK_ROOT_METRIC_MISSING,cn=monitoring,dc=univention,dc=local                                                                                              
univentionMonitoringAlertHosts: cn=ucs5primary,cn=dc,cn=computers,dc=univention,dc=local
univentionMonitoringAlertHosts: cn=ucs5member,cn=memberserver,cn=computers,dc=univention,dc=local
univentionMonitoringAlertHosts: cn=ucs5member,ou=Mitgliedsserver,ou=Univention GmbH,dc=univention,dc=local
  1. Step-by-Step Approach: Instead of using a loop to modify multiple entries at once, try modifying one entry at a time. This can help isolate and address any issues with a specific entry.
udm monitoring/alert modify --dn 'cn=UNIVENTION_DISK_ROOT_METRIC_MISSING,cn=monitoring,dc=univention,dc=local' --remove 'assignedHosts=cn=ucs5member,ou=Mitgliedsserver,ou=Univention GmbH,dc=univention,dc=local'
  1. Loop: This loop is helpful for obtaining a list of DNs for further processing.If you have specific tasks or modifications you want to perform on each monitoring alert, you can include those actions within the loop.
for i in $(udm monitoring/alert list | grep DN: | sed 's/DN: //p'); do
    echo "Processing $i"
    # Add your additional commands or operations here
done
  1. Remove over loop: To remove the values from all the object under monitoring/alerts.
for i in $(udm monitoring/alert list | grep DN: | sed 's/DN: //p'); do
    echo "Processing $i"
    udm monitoring/alert modify --dn "$i" --remove 'assignedHosts=cn=ucs5member,ou=Mitgliedsserver,ou=Univention GmbH,dc=univention,dc=local' --remove 'assignedHosts=cn=ucs5member,cn=memberserver,cn=computers,dc=univention,dc=local' --remove 'assignedHosts=cn=ucs5member,cn=computers,dc=univention,dc=local'
done
