inform the Agent about the credentials to access monitoring
information. You can configure it in the agent
<agent_install_dir>/etc/instana/configuration.yaml:
com.instana.plugin.couchbase:
enabled: true # enabled by default
user: ''
password: ''
poll_rate: 1 # values are in seconds. Default value is 1 second.
Required DB Permissions
For the sensor to be able to collect performance information about the DBMS, the user configured should have at least one of the following roles: Full Administrator, Read-only Administrator, Cluster Administrator. You can find more information on the roles and access control here.
