Individual bucket monitoring

Bucket monitoring within the Couchbase Web Console has been updated to show additional detailed information. The following statistic groups are available for Couchbase bucket types.

• Summary

The summary section provides a quick overview of the cluster activity.

• vBucket Resources

This section provides detailed information on the vBucket resources across the cluster, including the active, replica and pending operations.

• Disk Queues

Disk queues show the activity on the backend disk storage used for persistence within a data bucket. The information displayed shows the active, replica and pending activity.

• TAP Queues

The TAP queues section provides information on the activity within the TAP queues across replication, rebalancing and client activity.

• XDCR Destination

The XDCR Destination section show you statistical information about the Cross Datacenter Replication (XDCR), if XDCR has been configured.

• View Stats

The View Stats section lets you monitor the statistics for each production view configured within the bucket or system.

• Top Keys

This shows a list of the top 10 most actively used keys within the selected data bucket.

For Memcached bucket types, the Memcached statistic summary is provided.

Bucket monitoring — summary statistics

The summary section is designed to provide a quick overview of the cluster activity. Each graph (or selected graph) shows information based on the currently selected bucket.

The following graph types are available:

ops per second

The total number of operations per second on this bucket.

cache miss ratio

Ratio of reads per second to this bucket which required a read from disk rather than RAM.

creates per second

Number of new items created in this bucket per second.

updates per second

Number of existing items updated in this bucket per second.

XDCR ops per sec

Number of XDCR related operations per second for this bucket.

disk reads per sec

Number of reads per second from disk for this bucket.

temp OOM per sec

Number of temporary out of memory conditions per second.

gets per second

Number of get operations per second.

sets per second

Number of set operations per second.

deletes per second

Number of delete operations per second.

disk write queue

Size of the disk write queue.

docs data size

Size of the stored document data.

docs total disk size

Size of the persisted stored document data on disk.

doc fragmentation %

Monitoring vBucket resources

The vBucket statistics provide information for all vBucket types within the cluster across three different states. Within the statistic display the table of statistics is organized in four columns, showing the Active, Replica and Pending states for each individual statistic. The final column provides the total value for each statistic.

The Active column displays the information for vBuckets within the Active state. The Replica column displays the statistics for vBuckets within the Replica state (i.e. currently being replicated). The Pending columns shows statistics for vBuckets in the Pending state, i.e. while data is being exchanged during rebalancing.

These states are shared across all the following statistics. For example, the graph new items per sec within the Active state column displays the number of new items per second created within the vBuckets that are in the active state.

The individual statistics, one for each state, shown are:

• vBuckets

The number of vBuckets within the specified state.

• items

Number of items within the vBucket of the specified state.

• resident %

Percentage of items within the vBuckets of the specified state that are resident (in RAM).

• new items per sec.

Number of new items created in vBuckets within the specified state. Note that new items per second is not valid for the Pending state.

• ejections per second

Number of items ejected per second within the vBuckets of the specified state.

• user data in RAM

Size of user data within vBuckets of the specified state that are resident in RAM.

• metadata in RAM

Size of item metadata within the vBuckets of the specified state that are resident in RAM.

Monitoring disk queues

The Disk Queues statistics section displays the information for data being placed into the disk queue. Disk queues are used within Couchbase Server to store the information written to RAM on disk for persistence. Information is displayed for each of the disk queue states, Active, Replica and Pending.

The Active column displays the information for the Disk Queues within the Active state. The Replica column displays the statistics for the Disk Queues within the Replica state (i.e. currently being replicated). The Pending columns shows statistics for the disk Queues in the Pending state, i.e. while data is being exchanged during rebalancing.

These states are shared across all the following statistics. For example, the graph fill rate within the Replica state column displays the number of items being put into the replica disk queue for the selected bucket.

The displayed statistics are:

• items

The number of items waiting to be written to disk for this bucket for this state.

• fill rate

The number of items per second being added to the disk queue for the corresponding state.

• drain rate

Number of items actually written to disk from the disk queue for the corresponding state.

• average age

The average age of items (in seconds) within the disk queue for the specified state.

Monitoring TAP queues

The TAP queues statistics are designed to show information about the TAP queue activity, both internally, between cluster nodes and clients. The statistics information is therefore organized as a table with columns showing the statistics for TAP queues used for replication, rebalancing and clients.

The statistics in this section are detailed below:

• TAP senders

Number of TAP queues in this bucket for internal (replica), rebalancing or client connections.

• items

Number of items in the corresponding TAP queue for this bucket.

• drain rate

Number of items per second being sent over the corresponding TAP queue connections to this bucket.

• back-off rate

Number of back-offs per second sent when sending data through the corresponding TAP connection to this bucket.

• backfill remaining

Number of items in the backfill queue for the corresponding TAP connection for this bucket.

• remaining on disk

Number of items still on disk that need to be loaded in order to service the TAP connection to this bucket.

Memcached buckets

For Memcached buckets, Web Console displays a separate group of statistics:

The Memcached statistics are:

• Operations per sec.

Total operations per second serviced by this bucket

• Hit Ratio %

Percentage of get requests served with data from this bucket

Monitoring outgoing XDCR

The Outgoing XDCR shows the XDCR operations that are supporting cross datacenter replication from the current cluster to a destination cluster.

You can monitor the current status for all active replications in the Ongoing Replications section under the XDCR tab:

The Ongoing Replications section shows the following information:

The Status column indicates the current state of the replication configuration. Possible include:

• Starting Up

The replication process has just started, and the clusters are determining what data needs to be sent from the originating cluster to the destination cluster.

• Replicating

The bucket is currently being replicated and changes to the data stored on the originating cluster are being sent to the destination cluster.

• Failed

Replication to the destination cluster has failed. The destination cluster cannot be reached. The replication configuration may need to be deleted and recreated.

Under the Data Buckets tab you can click on a named Couchbase bucket and find more statistics about replication for that bucket. Couchbase Web Console displays statistics for the particular bucket; on this page you can find two drop-down areas called in the Outgoing XDCR and Incoming XDCR Operations. Both provides statistics about ongoing replication for the particular bucket. Under the Outgoing XDCR panel if you have multiple replication streams you will see statistics for each stream.

The statistics shown are:

• outbound XDCR mutation

Number of changes in the queue waiting to be sent to the destination cluster.

• mutations checked

Number of document mutations checked on source cluster.

• mutations replicated

Number of document mutations replicated to the destination cluster.

• data replicated

Size of data replicated in bytes.

• active vb reps

Number of parallel, active vBucket replicators. Each vBucket has one replicator which can be active or waiting. By default you can only have 32 parallel active replicators at once per node. Once an active replicator finishes, it will pass a token to a waiting replicator.

• waiting vb reps

Number of vBucket replicators that are waiting for a token to replicate.

• secs in replicating

Total seconds elapsed for data replication for all vBuckets in a cluster.

• secs in checkpointing

Time working in seconds including wait time for replication.

• checkpoints issued

Total number of checkpoints issued in replication queue. By default active vBucket replicators issue a checkpoint every 30 minutes to keep track of replication progress.

• checkpoints failed

Number of checkpoints failed during replication. This can happen due to timeouts, due to network issues or if a destination cluster cannot persist quickly enough.

• mutations in queue

Number of document mutations waiting in replication queue.

• XDCR queue size

Amount of memory used by mutations waiting in replication queue. In bytes.

• mutation replication rate

Number of mutations replicated to destination cluster per second.

• data replication rate

Bytes replicated to destination per second.

• ms meta ops latency

Weighted average time for requesting document metadata. In milliseconds.

• mutations replicated optimistically

Total number of mutations replicated with optimistic XDCR.

• ms docs ops latency

Weighted average time for sending mutations to destination cluster. In milliseconds.

• percent completed

Percent of total mutations checked for metadata.

Be aware that if you use an earlier version of Couchbase Server, such as Couchbase Server 2.0, only the first three statistics appear and have the labels changes queue, documents checked, and documents replicated respectively. You can also get XDCR statistics using the Couchbase REST API. All of the statistics in Web Console are based on statistics via the REST API or values derived from them.

Monitoring incoming XDCR

The Incoming XDCR section shows the XDCR operations that are coming into to the current cluster from a remote cluster.

The statistics shown are:

• metadata reads per sec.

Number of documents XDCR scans for metadata per second. XDCR uses this information for conflict resolution.

• sets per sec.

Set operations per second for incoming XDCR data.

• deletes per sec.

Delete operations per second as a result of the incoming XDCR data stream.

• total ops per sec.

Total of all the operations per second.

Monitoring view statistics

The View statistics show information about individual design documents within the selected bucket. One block of stats will be shown for each production-level design document.

The statistics shown are:

• data size

Size of the data required for this design document.

• disk size

Size of the stored index as stored on disk.

• view reads per sec.

Number of read operations per second for this view.
