Couchbase Server is an open source, distributed (shared-nothing architecture) NoSQL document-oriented database that is optimized for interactive applications. This extension allows the user to connect to a specific cluster host and retrieve metrics about the cluster, all the nodes within the cluster and any buckets associated with the nodes.
<MACHINE_AGENT_HOME>/monitors/ directory.Configure the CouchBase monitoring extension by editing the config.yml file in <MACHINE_AGENT_HOME>/monitors/CouchBaseMonitor/
Configure the "tier" under which the metrics need to be reported. This can be done by changing the value of <TIER NAME OR TIER ID> in metricPrefix: "Server|Component:`<TIER NAME OR TIER ID>|Custom Metrics|CouchBase"
For example,
metricPrefix: "Server|Component:Extensions tier|Custom Metrics|CouchBase"
Configure the CouchBase cluster by specifying the name(required), host(required), port(required), queryPort(required) of any node(server) in the CouchBase cluster, username(only if authentication enabled), password(only if authentication enabled), passwordEncrypted(only if password encryption required).
For example,
servers:
- name: "Cluster1"
host: "localhost"
port: "8091"
queryPort: "8093"
username: "Administrator"
password: "password1"
passwordEncrypted: ""
Configure the encyptionKey for encryptionPasswords(only if password encryption required). See next section for encrypting password.
For example,
#Encryption key for Encrypted password. encryptionKey: "axcdde43535hdhdgfiniyy576"
Configure the metrics section.
For configuring the metrics, the following properties can be used:
| Property | Default value | Possible values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| alias | metric name | Any string | The substitute name to be used in the metric browser instead of metric name. |
| aggregationType | "AVERAGE" | "AVERAGE", "SUM", "OBSERVATION" | Aggregation qualifier |
| timeRollUpType | "AVERAGE" | "AVERAGE", "SUM", "CURRENT" | Time roll-up qualifier |
| clusterRollUpType | "INDIVIDUAL" | "INDIVIDUAL", "COLLECTIVE" | Cluster roll-up qualifier |
| multiplier | 1 | Any number | Value with which the metric needs to be multiplied. |
| convert | null | Any key value map | Set of key value pairs that indicates the value to which the metrics need to be transformed. eg: UP:0, DOWN:1 |
| delta | false | true, false | If enabled, gives the delta values of metrics instead of actual values. |
For example,
- bandwidth_usage: #Bandwidth used during replication, measured in bytes per second.
alias: "bandwidthUsed"
multiplier: 1
aggregationType: "SUM"
timeRollUpType: "CURRENT"
clusterRollUpType: "INDIVIDUAL"
delta: true
- status:
alias: "status"
convert:
"healthy" : 1
"warmup" : 2
**All these metric properties are optional, and the default value shown in the table is applied to the metric(if a property has not been specified) by default.**
There are six categories of metrics i.e cluster, node , bucket, query, xdcr, index. To disable any of these sections, change the include parameter under the section to "false" as follows:
index:
include: "false"
stats:
- memorySnapshotInterval:
alias: "memorySnapshotInterval"
- stableSnapshotInterval:
alias: "stableSnapshotInterval"
- maxRollbackPoints:
alias: "maxRollbackPoints"
To avoid setting the clear text password in the config.yml, please follow the steps below to encrypt the password and set the encrypted password and the key in the config.yml:
java -cp "appd-exts-commons-2.0.0.jar" com.appdynamics.extensions.crypto.Encryptor myKey myPasswordwhere "myKey" is any random key, "myPassword" is the actual password that needs to be encrypted
It is recommended that a single CouchBase monitoring extension be used to monitor a single CouchBase cluster.

Workbench is a feature by which you can preview the metrics before registering it with the controller. This is useful if you want to fine-tune the configurations. Workbench is embedded into the extension jar. To use the workbench, follow all the steps in installation and configuration.
Start the workbench with the following command if you are in
java -jar /monitors/CouchBaseMonitor/couchbase-monitoring-extension.jarThis starts an HTTP server at http://localhost:9090/. This can be accessed from the browser.
If the server is not accessible from outside/browser, you can use the following endpoints to see the list of registered metrics and errors.
Get the stats curl http://localhost:9090/api/stats Get the registered metrics curl http://localhost:9090/api/metric-paths
