Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

Metric collection

1. Edit the couch.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your CouchDB performance data. See the sample couch.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options:

   init_config:
   
   instances:
     ## @param server - string - required
     ## The Couch server's url.
     #
     - server: http://localhost:5984
   

   Note: provide a db_include and db_exclude to control which databases the Agent should and should not collect metrics from.

2. Restart the Agent.

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, you need to enable it in datadog.yaml:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Add this configuration block to your couch.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your CouchDB Logs:

   logs:
     - type: file
       path: /var/log/couchdb/couch.log
       source: couchdb
       service: couch
   

   Change the path and service parameter values and configure them for your environment. See the sample couch.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

3. Restart the Agent.
