Q.

I am interested in being notified of eDirectory management traffic. Is there a way to do this? I am trying to gather the data to simulate network traffic due to directory synchronization.

A.

Through LDAP in eDirectory 8.6, you can get some events like Add, Delete, Modify, etc. In eDirectory 8.7, you are able to get replication events through LDAP.

Here is a link to event types in 8.7:

LDAP Event System doc:

An EVT_SYNC_SVR_OUT_START event occurs when outbound synchronization begins from a particular server; an EVT_SYNC_SVR_OUT_END occurs when outbound synchronization from the server is finished. The EVT_SYNC_PART_START and EVT_SYNC_PART_END events mark the beginning and end of synchronization for a partition.
