Yes I agree having a way to dump current status of the SSSD responders
and providers would be a nice to have. But it is not quite simple.
I think we have a ticket for this.
See some thoughts that Stephen recorded there:

Would something as simple as logging changes to online/offline status to
syslog with a lower severity (LOG_INFO or LOG_DEBUG) be useful?
Recent systemd versions also print the last couple of lines that the
service logged when "service foo status" (aka systemctl status
foo.service) is called.
Then calling "service sssd status" would be able to tell you the last
status change of the provider.
