What is CouchDB?

Apache CouchDB is open source database software that focuses on ease of use and having an architecture that "completely embraces the Web". It has a document-oriented NoSQL database architecture and is implemented in the concurrency-oriented language Erlang; it uses JSON to store data, JavaScript as its query language using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API.

See valuable CouchDB node metrics and find problematic nodes

Valuable CouchDB node metrics for each CouchDB process page are displayed on the CouchDB metrics tab. With the Requests chart, you’ll know how each node is performing. For example, above average Maximum request time measurements may indicate that you have some slow requests.

Identify problematic CouchDB nodes by selecting a relevant time interval on the timeline, select a node metric from the metric drop down list, and compare the values of all nodes in the sortable table.

Additionally, you can check HTTP status codes and metrics.
