Overview

Prometheus is the de facto metrics collection platform for use in Kubernetes environments. The Autonomous Operator provides native integration with the Couchbase Prometheus Exporter⁠ for collecting and exposing Couchbase Server metrics.

Prometheus metrics collection is enabled in the CouchbaseCluster⁠ config. The configuration allows you to specify a Couchbase-provided container image that contains the Prometheus Exporter. The Autonomous Operator injects the image as a "sidecar" container⁠ in each Couchbase Server pod.
