# Apache CouchDB monitoring with Netdata
Monitors vital statistics of a local Apache CouchDB 2.x server, including:
- Overall server reads/writes
- HTTP traffic breakdown
- Request methods (`GET`, `PUT`, `POST`, etc.)
- Response status codes (`200`, `201`, `4xx`, etc.)
- Active server tasks
- Replication status (CouchDB 2.1 and up only)
- Erlang VM stats
- Optional per-database statistics: sizes, # of docs, # of deleted docs
## Configuration
Edit the `python.d/couchdb.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
```bash
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/couchdb.conf
```
Sample for a local server running on port 5984:
```yaml
local:
user: 'admin'
pass: 'password'
node: 'couchdb@127.0.0.1'
```
Be sure to specify a correct admin-level username and password.
You may also need to change the `node` name; this should match the value of `-name NODENAME` in your CouchDB's `etc/vm.args` file. Typically this is of the form `couchdb@fully.qualified.domain.name` in a cluster, or `couchdb@127.0.0.1` / `couchdb@localhost` for a single-node server.
If you want per-database statistics, these need to be added to the configuration, separated by spaces:
```yaml
local:
...
databases: 'db1 db2 db3 ...'
```
