Overview

Dynatrace automatically detects all applications and microservices deployed in your system and how it uses your database. It provides automatic end-to-end tracing down to the single database statement, database server metrics and log insights. Dynatrace visualizes application to database dependencies for SQL and noSQL database as well as for cloud databases and self hosted databases. It diagnoses anomalies in real time with AI and pinpoints the root-cause down to the slow performing or erroneous SQL statements. Deep code-level insights combined with cloud native database server monitoring will help you ensure a robust production environment.

Apache CouchDB server monitoring in Dynatrace provides a cluster overview and all relevant nodes metrics.

If your Apache CouchDB installation is underperforming or a problem occurs, Dynatrace lets you know immediately and shows you which nodes are affected. You can then drill down into the metrics of individual nodes to find the root causes of problems and potential bottlenecks.

Use cases

  • Understand all dependencies of your applications to the database, which database statements are executed and their performance.
  • Improve the performance of your application by reducing or optimizing typical database patterns like the 1+N query problem
  • Understand the resource impact that your applications have on your database.
  • Understand the impact of resource shortages, locks or other database issues have on your application by observing the database server itself.

Get started

Set up monitoring

Virtual machine

If your Apache CouchDB is running on a virtual machine directly, install OneAgent on that virtual machine to get started.

Kubernetes workload

If your Apache CouchDB is running as a workload in Kubernetes, set up Dynatrace on Kubernetes.

Openshift workload

If your Apache CouchDB is running as a workload in OpenShift, set up Dynatrace on OpenShift.

Extension

Activate the CouchDB extension to get full metric insight including events.

Installation

  1. Select "Add to Environment".
  2. Create a monitoring configuration.
  3. Select the ActiveGate group that will handle the execution of the extension. This selected ActiveGates must be able to establish a connection with the CouchDB cluster on the port that the cluster is using (the default is 5984).
  4. Select "Create an endpoint".
  5. Provide to URL to the CouchDB cluster that you would like to monitor.
  6. Set the "Username" and "Password". We recommend to first create the credential in the Credential Vault and then select the "Credential Vault" option to choose your CouchDB credentials.
  7. Set the query interval. For best results, we recommend an interval of 1-5 minutes.

Log monitoring

Activate log monitoring to get full log insight.

Details

CouchDB monitoring insights

  1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Dashboards.
  2. Select the "CouchDB Extension Overview" dashboard.
  • This dashboard provides an overview of the CouchDB clusters and nodes that are being monitored in your environment.
  • Select the link to "Cluster" and "Node" to get a list of all clusters and nodes being monitored.
  • Select an individual cluster or node for detailed metrics.

Access to the Dashboard is also available from the Extension configuration screen by selecting the green "Go to Dashboard" button.

Compatibility information

  • CouchDB user with access to /_membership and /_node endpoints.
  • Linux or Windows OS
  • CouchDB 3+

Customer story Fife Council, Scotland
“Dynatrace shines a torch into the dark corners of an application, so we can see right down into the code and query level. It gives you the evidence you need to be sure of root causes, so we’ve been able to work much more easily with our service providers to resolve issues and get things back on track.”
