Do you already have the basic ldap monitor in bb-bet working?

Shouldn't you monitor this DNS then?

My OpenLDAP monitor is specific to OpenLDAP, for monitoring replication and

I note that AD is a very broad term covering many services on many protocols 
(LDAP, Kerberos, NTP/SNTP, DNS, DHCP, CIFS etc. etc.).
