CouchDB module

This is the couchdb module.

The default metricset is server.

The Couchdb module is tested in CI with Couchdb 1.7 and 2.3. Because of the differences between v1 and v2 for exposing metrics, the path to request metrics for each version is different:

• v1.* uses [host]:5984/_stats so the hosts of your config should just be [host]:5984
• v2.* exposes metrics in various places. Local in [host]:5986/_stats and cluster wide in [host]:5984/_node/[node-name]/_stats or [host]:5984/_node/_local/_stats. Recommended config is [host]:5986 to use the local path (double check that you are using port 5986) or to use the full path on 5984 [host]:5984/_node/[node name or _local]/_stats

The CouchDB module comes with a predefined dashboard for CouchDB database specific stats. For example:

The CouchDB module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:
