dsconf prints its output to stderr instead of stdout. This requires to redirect the output if you want to pipe the output through other commands.

Using, for example, "grep" to filter a string in the dsconf output does not work if you don't redirect stderr to stdout:
# dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com replication get --suffix="dc=example,dc=com" | grep -i nsds5replicaid Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://server.example.com: dn: cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config cn: replica nsDS5Flags: 1 nsDS5ReplicaBindDN: cn=replication manager,cn=config nsDS5ReplicaId: 1 nsDS5ReplicaName: fc2d2c03-e73211e8-9eb7d5ab-68510d27 nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example,dc=com nsDS5ReplicaType: 3 nsState:: AQAAAAAAAAD2rupbAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAA== nsds5ReplicaChangeCount: 1 nsds5replicareapactive: 0 objectClass: top objectClass: nsds5Replica
However, if you redirect stderr to stdout (2>&1), it works:
# dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com replication get --suffix="dc=example,dc=com" 2>&1 | grep -i nsds5replicaid Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://server.example.com: nsDS5ReplicaId: 1
