This module 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

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 ...'
