What does "official" mean for you? Does that mean vendor support you're
willing to pay for?
Anyway...
My slapdcheck also produces OpenMetrics output to be consumed by
Prometheus. But since it's a wrapper around the MRPE checks it does not
feel Prometheus-like. It's on my long to-do list to refactor slapdcheck
to internally already handle labels and turn that into MRPE/Nagios
compatible check item names.

You could also use mtail to extract metrics from logs which mtail also
serves as Prometheus metrics:
https://github.com/google/mtail
My mtail progs extract some metrics not available in cn=monitor yet
(e.g. result code counters and deferred counters).

BTW: There are some simple exporters available out there which simply
pull counters and gauges from cn=monitor and use the DN of the monitor
entry as the metrics' label. Given that some cn=monitor entries contain
multiple values this is not the correct approach. (And full DNs as label
also makes your Prometheus queries look quite complicated.)
Ciao, Michael.
