Hi there, I just tried to run etop against CouchDB inspired by one G+ post that provided shortcut script. I'd added -sname 'couchdb@localhost' (yes, with single quotes around the node name) argument for CouchDB startup and successfully located erlang cookie within couchdb user home dir (/var/lib/couchdb for me).
The result command to run etop was looked as: erl -name etop-`date +%s` -hidden -s etop -s erlang halt \ -output text -node [email protected] -setcookie secret \ -tracing off -sort msg_q -interval 5 But it had failed with an error: Erlang R16B (erts-5.10.1) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] Eshell V5.10.1 (abort with ^G) ([email protected])1> Error Couldn't connect to node '[email protected]' and CouchDB didn't log any error messages about unwelcome connections from outside. I couldn't use couchdb@localhost for -node argument since it produce invalid node name error. Using long node name also was with no luck. Actually, I'd successfully solve my problem with entop[1] help, but wonder why erl command ahd failed to connect? Probably, entop handles connection right somewhere deep in sources and I feel the problem is too trivial, but looks I'd missed something... [1]: https://github.com/mazenharake/entop -- ,,,^..^,,,
