Apache CouchDB monitoring with Netdata

Monitors vital statistics of a local Apache CouchDB 2.x server, including:

• Overall server reads/writes
• HTTP traffic breakdown
  • Request methods (GET, PUT, POST, etc.)
  • Response status codes (200, 201, 4xx, etc.)
• Active server tasks
• Replication status (CouchDB 2.1 and up only)
• Erlang VM stats
• Optional per-database statistics: sizes, # of docs, # of deleted docs

Configuration

Edit the python.d/couchdb.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different

sudo ./edit-config python.d/couchdb.conf

Sample for a local server running on port 5984:

local:

user: 'admin'

pass: 'password'

node: 'couchdb@127.0.0.1'

Be sure to specify a correct admin-level username and password.

You may also need to change the node name; this should match the value of -name NODENAME in your CouchDB's etc/vm.args file. Typically this is of the form couchdb@fully.qualified.domain.name in a cluster, or couchdb@127.0.0.1 / couchdb@localhost for a single-node server.

If you want per-database statistics, these need to be added to the configuration, separated by spaces:

local:

...

databases: 'db1 db2 db3 ...'
