Correct, set them to 0 for autotuning to take effect

The Redhat docs are a bit confusing on this (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/performance_tuning_guide/memoryusage):

nsslapd-cache-autosize
This settings controls if auto-sizing is enabled for the database and entry cache. Auto-sizing is enabled:
For both the database and entry cache, if the nsslapd-cache-autosize parameter is set to a value greater than 0.
For the database cache, if the nsslapd-cache-autosize and nsslapd-dbcachesize parameters are set to 0.
For the entry cache, if the nsslapd-cache-autosize and nsslapd-cachememsizeparameters are set to 0.

You just confirmed bullet 2 and 3. But bullet 1 is not clear: if I set

nsslapd-cache-autosize to something greater than 0 and both types of caches become auto-tuned, why would then I need to set them to 0 (to enable auto-tuning) individually?

Also, is there a way to check that auto-tuning is working normally? Is dbmon.sh the right way?

Thanks again,
