HTTP method and URI

Auto-compaction settings can be configured for all buckets on a cluster-wide basis or for a specific bucket on the bucket-level

// Cluster-wide
GET /settings/autoCompaction

// Bucket-level
GET /pools/default/buckets/[bucket_name]
      

Cluster-wide syntax

To retrieve current auto-compaction settings for a cluster:

curl -u [admin]:[password] http://[localhost]:8091/settings/autoCompaction

Replace the admin, password, and localhost values in the above example with your actual values.

This results in a JSON response as follows:

Cluster-wide example

The following example requests auto-compaction information on a cluster-wide level. GET is not specified because it is the default HTTP method.

curl -u Administrator:password 
  http://127.0.0.1:8091/settings/autoCompaction        
      

Cluster-wide response

This example response shows a purgeInterval of three days and no current thresholds set for data or index compaction. The field parallelDBAndViewCompaction: false indicates that the cluster will not perform data and index compaction in parallel.

}

Bucket-level syntax

To see auto-compaction settings for a single bucket, use this request:

curl -u admin:password http://[localhost]:8091/pools/default/buckets/[bucket_name]

Replace the admin, password, localhost, and bucket_name values in the above example with your actual values.

Bucket-level example

The following example requests auto-compaction information for the bucket, test2. GET is not specified because it is the default HTTP method.

curl -u Administrator:password 
  http://10.5.2.117:8091/pools/default/buckets/test2
