Apache CouchDB monitoring with Netdata
Monitors vital statistics of a local Apache CouchDB 2.x server.
This module monitors one or more CouchDB
instances, depending on your configuration.

Configuration
Edit the go.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 go.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 ...'
For all available options, see the CouchDB
collector's configuration file.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the couchdb
collector, run the go.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
-
Navigate to the plugins.d
directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's not the case on
your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the plugins
setting under [directories]
.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-
Switch to the netdata
user.
sudo -u netdata -s
-
Run the go.d.plugin
to debug the collector:
./go.d.plugin -d -m couchdb
