3.6. Scanner¶

Configure background scanning plugins.

New in version 3.4.

3.6.1. Scanner Options¶

[couch_scanner]¶

interval_sec¶

How often to check for configuration changes and start/stop plugins. The default is 5 seconds.

[couch_scanner]
interval_sec = 5

min_penalty_sec¶

Minimum time to force a plugin to wait before running again after a crash. Defaults to 30 seconds.

[couch_scanner]
min_penalty_sec = 30

max_penalty_sec¶

Maximum time to force a plugin to wait after repeated crashes. The default is 8 hours (in seconds).

[couch_scanner]
min_penalty_sec = 28800

heal_threshold_sec¶

If plugin runs successfully without crashing for this long, reset its repeated error count. Defaults to 5 minutes (in seconds).

[couch_scanner]
heal_threshold_sec = 300

db_rate_limit¶

Database processing rate limit. This will also be the rate at which design documents are fetched. The rate is shared across all running plugins.

[couch_scanner]
db_rate_limit = 25

shard_rate_limit¶

Limits the rate at which plugins may open db shard files on a node. The rate is shared across all running plugins.

[couch_scanner]
db_shard_limit = 50

doc_rate_limit¶

Limit the rate at which plugins open documents. The rate is shared across all running plugins.

[couch_scanner]
doc_rate_limit = 1000

[couch_scanner_plugins]¶

$plugin¶

Which plugins are enabled. By default plugins are disabled.

[couch_scanner_plugins]
couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features = false
couch_scanner_plugin_find = false

[$plugin]¶

These settings apply to all the plugins. Some plugins may also have individual settings in their [$plugin] section.

after¶
Run plugin on or after this time. The default is to run once after the node starts. Possible time formats are: unix seconds (ex. 1712338014) or date/time: YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DDTHH, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM. Times are in UTC.
[$plugin]
after = restart
repeat¶
Run the plugin periodically. By default it will run once after node the node starts. Possible period formats are: $num_$timeunit (ex.: 1000_sec, 30_min, 8_hours, 24_hour, 2_days, 3_weeks, 1_month) or $weekday (ex.: mon, monday, Thu, etc.)
[$plugin]
repeat = restart

[$plugin.skip_dbs]¶

$string¶

Skip over databases if their names contain any of the strings in this section.

[$plugin.skip_dbs]
string1 = true
string2 = true

[$plugin.skip_ddocs]¶

$string¶

Skip over design documents if their DocIDs contain any of the strings in this section.

[$plugin.skip_ddocs]
string1 = true
string2 = true

[$plugin.skip_docs]¶

$string¶

Skip over documents if their DocIds contain any of the strings in this section.

[$plugin.skip_docs]
string1 = true
string2 = true

[couch_scanner_plugin_find.regexes]¶

$tag¶

Configure regular expressions to find. The format is $tag = $regex Reports will be emitted to the log as warnings mentioning only their tag. By default, no regular expressions are defined and the plugin will run but won’t report anything.

[couch_scanner_plugin_find.regexes]
regex1 = s3cret(1|2|3)
regex2 = n33dl3

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]¶

updates¶

Report if design documents have update handlers. Enabled by default.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
updates = true

shows¶

Report if design documents have shows. Enabled by default.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
shows = true

rewrites¶

Report if design documents have rewrites. Enabled by default.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
rewrites = true

filters¶

Report if design documents have Javascript filters. Disabled by default.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
filters = false

reduce¶

Report if design documents have Javascript reduce functions. Disabled by default.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
reduce = false

validate_doc_update¶

Report if design documents have validate document update functions. Disabled by default.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
validate_doc_update = false

run_on_first_node¶

Run plugin on the first node or all the nodes. The default is to run only on the first node of the cluster. If the value is “false” each node of the cluster will process a consistent subset of the databases so scanning will go faster but might consume more resources. Report if design documents have validate document update functions.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
run_on_first_node = true

ddoc_report¶

Emit reports for each design doc or aggregate them per database. Emitting them per design doc will indicate the design document name, however if there are too many design documents, that may generate a lot of logs. The default is to aggregate reports per database.

[couch_scanner_plugin_ddoc_features]
ddoc_report = false
