!!!Flat Cleaner

The Flat Cleaner  is an [EDirectory Background Processes] that is used to eliminate eDirectory variables and attributes that are no longer needed by the database. Flat Cleaner is responsible for
* Eliminating unused bindery and [external reference (X-ref)|NDS External References] objects and/or [attributes].
* Making sure that each of the objects in a [partition] replica maintained on this server has a valid [Public Key] [attribute].
* Eliminating [NDS External References] [NDS Obituaries] that have been set as purgeable.
* Making sure that the Server objects in partition replicas hosted on this server have maintained accurate Status and Version attributes. The Server object maintains an attribute that specifies server status as up, down, initializing, and so on. It also keeps a record of the version of eDirectory running on that server.

!! Monitoring
Flat Cleaner can be indirectly monitored through the use of Check External References in [Ndsrepair]. 

[DSTrace|Ndstrace] also provides the capability to monitor the Janitor process directly.
