  • reference
    +
    Couchbase Server services are enabled when adding or joining a node to a cluster.

    Syntax

    Adding a node syntax:

    curl -u [admin]:[password]
      [localhost]:8091/controller/addNode
      -d "hostname=[IPaddress]&user=[admin]&password=[password]"
      -d "services=[kv | index | n1ql | fts | cbas | eventing | backup ]"

    Joining a node to a cluster:

    curl -u [admin]:[password] -d clusterMemberHostIp=[ip-address]
      -d clusterMemberPort=[port]
      -d user=[admin] -d password=[password]
      http://[localhost]:8091/node/controller/doJoinCluster
      -d "services=[kv | index | n1ql | fts | cbas | eventing | backup]"

    Description

    This command is used to add a node to a cluster and specify the service. If a service is not specified, the data service (kv) will be added by default.

    When enabling services, ensure that you set the appropriate memory quota parameters as follows:

    curl -X POST -u Administrator:password \
      http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools/default \
      -d 'memoryQuota=256' \
      -d 'indexMemoryQuota=256' \
      -d 'ftsMemoryQuota=512' \
      -d 'cbasMemoryQuota=1048' \
      -d 'eventingMemoryQuota=512'

    HTTP method and URI

    POST /controller/addNode
    POST /node/controller/doJoinCluster
