Getting Cluster Rebalance Reason Codes

      +
      When the cluster/bucket/service needs to be rebalanced, you can retrieve the reason for the rebalance using the 'GET /pools/default' method.

      HTTP method and URI

      GET /pools/default

      Description

      At any point that the service needs rebalancing, you can use this method to obtain a detailed description of the reasons that the rebalance is required.

      The reason code(s) can be one or more of the following:

      • Service isn’t balanced.

      • Servers aren’t balanced.

      • The number of replicas has changed.

      • The bucket map isn’t balanced.

      The service returns the reason code only if a rebalance is required.

      Curl Syntax

      curl -v -X GET -u [admin]:[password]
        http://[localhost]:8091/pools/default

      Response

      On success, the response code 200 OK is given, and one or more reason codes are givem in the returned message.
