Yes, I have the same problem, changelogdb is about 13Gb (I have 10000
entries in my environment, 2 node MMR) and my partition has less than
10% free space.

I have added attributes
nsslapd-changelogmaxage: 4w
and
nsslapd-changelogmaxentries: 5000

to cn=changelog5,cn=config  and restarted both servers.

Should it shrink now automatically or do I need to do something else?
  
I believe it will stay to the same file size / will not shrink although it is slowly trimmed as entries are cleared but not released.
