Summary: couchdbctl
Key: COUCHDB-2541
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2541
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Reporter: Alexander Shorin
couchdbctl is CouchDB control service utility that aims to help users manage
and inspect their CouchDB instance, keeping it well and health.
Few ideas what it may do:
- register users with easy:
{code}
$ couchdbctl users add Jan
Password:
{code}
hides routines to create /_users/org.couchdb.users:Jan document with all
required fields;
- run service operations:
{code}
$ couchdbctl db compact
{code}
- connect to node and provide shell:
{code}
$ couchdbctl attach
{code}
- run security audit as like as
[audit-couchdb|https://github.com/iriscouch/audit_couchdb] or
[couchdb-auditor|https://github.com/kxepal/python-couchdb-auditor] does;
{code}
$ couchdbctl audit
{code}
- see erltop;
{code}
$ couchdbctl top
{code}
- monitor stats and active tasks in realtime;
- run replications with single command without worry about JSON and required
fields:
{code}
$ couchdbctl replicate foo http://example.com/bar --continuous --create-target
{code}
- check cluster health, add/remove nodes to it;
- explain errors in logs:
{code}
$ couchdbctl errors
[error] [<0.125.0>] {error_report,<0.30.0>,
{<0.125.0>,crash_report,
[[{initial_call,{couch_file,init,['Argument__1']}},
{pid,<0.125.0>},
{registered_name,[]},
{error_info,
{exit,
{{badmatch,{error,eacces}},
[{couch_file,init,1,
...
eacess error - insufficient or invalid permissions, please verify that couchdb
user has all r permissions to the following paths:
/var/lib/couchdb - read+write
/var/log/couchdb - read+write
/etc/couchdb - read+write
/usr/lib64/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-2.0.0/priv/lib - read
{code}
And so on and so forth. It's easy to find how this utility may improve users
experience with CouchDB by simplifying common maintaining routes.
