10.2. Port numbers and accessing different buckets

In a Couchbase Server cluster, any communication (stats or data) to a port other than 11210 will result in the request going through a Moxi process. This means that any stats request will be aggregated across the cluster (and may produce some inconsistencies or confusion when looking at stats that are not "aggregatable").

In general, it is best to run all your stat commands against port 11210 which will always give you the information for the specific node that you are sending the request to. It is a best practice to then aggregate the relevant data across nodes at a higher level (in your own script or monitoring system).

When you run the below commands (and all stats commands) without supplying a bucket name and/or password, they will return results for the default bucket and produce an error if one does not exist.

To access a bucket other than the default, you will need to supply the bucket name and/or password on the end of the command. Any bucket created on a dedicated port does not require a password.

Warning

The TCP/IP port allocation on Windows by default includes a restricted number of ports available for client communication. For more information on this issue, including information on how to adjust the configuration and increase the available ports, see MSDN: Avoiding TCP/IP Port Exhaustion.
