The following sections provide details on the App|Web.config configuration options for the .NET Client Library

The CouchbaseClientSection class is the configuration section handler.

<section name="couchbase" type="Couchbase.Configuration.CouchbaseClientSection, Couchbase"/>

The minimum configuration options are to include a couchbase section with a servers element with at least one URI, which is used to bootstrap the client. At least two node URIs should be provided, so that in the event that the client can't reach the first, it will try the second.

<couchbase>
    <servers>
      <add uri="http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools"/>
    </servers>
</couchbase>

The "bucket" and "bucketPassword" attributes of the servers element default to "default" and an empty string respectively.

<couchbase>
    <servers bucket="beers" bucketPassword="H0p$">
      <add uri="http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools"/>
    </servers>
</couchbase>

The client will periodically check the health of its connection to the cluster by performing a heartbeat check. By default, this test is done every 10 seconds against the bootstrap URI defined in the servers element.

The "uri", "enabled" and "interval" attributes are all optional. The "interval" is specified in milliseconds. Setting "enabled" to false will cause other settings to be ignored and the heartbeat will not be checked.

<heartbeatMonitor uri="http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools/heartbeat" interval="60000" enabled="true" />
