Summary

The Couchbase Mobile 2.5 release introduced enhanced stats reporting capabilities for the Sync Gateway, which can be monitored using Prometheus and visualized with Grafana. This setup enables users to gain insights into the health of their Couchbase Mobile deployment. The process involves deploying a Sync Gateway Exporter to convert Sync Gateway stats into Prometheus metrics, setting up Prometheus to poll the Exporter for data, and using Grafana to display these metrics on customizable dashboards. The Exporter is open-source and available on GitHub, compatible with Couchbase Sync Gateway 2.5, and the entire deployment can be managed using Docker containers. Additionally, the article provides a default Grafana dashboard and outlines steps for customizing it, while also hinting at future content for deploying the Exporter on a Kubernetes cluster.
