      [ <scope>.<collection> | id <collectionID> ]

    Options

    For common cbstats options, see the cbstats reference page. Command-specific options are as follows:

    Option Description

    vkey <keyname>

    Name of the key.

    <vbid>

    vBucket ID. To find the vBucket ID associated with a given key, use the cbc-hash command; which is available as part of the Couchbase C SDK (libcouchbase). Examples are provided below.

    <scope>.<collection>

    The scope and collection that contain the key.

    id <collectionID>

    The id of the collection that contains the key. For information on retrieving the id of a collection, see the cbstats collections reference page.

    Responses

    Responses contain the following information:

    Stat Value

    key_cas

    The key’s current cas value, as a decimal integer.

    key_exptime

    Expiration time from the epoch, as a decimal integer.

    key_flags

    Flags for this key, as a decimal integer.

    key_is_dirty

    Whether the value is not yet persisted.

    key_is_resident

    Whether the value is resident in memory.

    key_valid

    See the description immediately below this table.

    key_vb_state

    The vBucket state of this key.

    Note that key_valid can have any of the following values:

    • this_is_a_bug. An error has occurred.

    • dirty. The value in memory has not been persisted yet.

    • length_mismatch. The key length in memory does not match the length on the disk.

    • data_mismatch. The data in memory does not match the data on disk.

    • flags_mismatch. The flags in memory do not match the flags on disk.

    • valid. The key is both on disk and in memory.

    • ram_but_not_disk. The value does not yet exist on disk.

    • item_deleted. The item has been deleted.

    Examples: Find vBucket IDs

    Using cbc-hash, the following call searches for the vBucket ID that corresponds to the key airline_10; which is provided by default, in the sample bucket travel-sample:

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbc-hash airline_10 \
    -U couchbase://localhost/travel-sample \
    -u Administrator -P password

    The response is as follows:

    airline_10: [vBucket=361, Index=0] Server: localhost:11210, CouchAPI: http://localhost:8092/travel-sample

    The response thus indicates that the document with the key airline_10 resides in the vBucket whose id is 361.

    The following call searches for the key of a custom-created document, saved by the administrator in the sample bucket travel-sample:

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbc-hash newTestDoc \
    -U couchbase://localhost/travel-sample \
    -u Administrator -P password

    The response is as follows:

    newTestDoc: [vBucket=4, Index=0] Server: localhost:11210, CouchAPI: http://localhost:8092/travel-sample

    The response thus indicates that the document with the key newTestDoc resides in the vBucket whose id is 4.

    Examples: Get vKey Information

    vKey information can be retrieved either by specifying the bucket; or by additionally specifying either a collection or both a scope and a collection, within the bucket.

    Get vKey Information, Specifying Bucket

    The following call requests information on the vkey airline_10, contained in the vBucket whose id is 361:

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbstats -u Administrator -p password \
    -b travel-sample localhost:11210 \
    vkey 'airline_10' 361

    The response is as follows:

    verification for key airline_10
     key_cas:         1601426228785053696
     key_exptime:     0
     key_flags:       100663298
     key_is_dirty:    false
     key_is_resident: true
     key_valid:       data_mismatch
     key_vb_state:    active

    Get vKey Information, Specifying Bucket, Scope, and Collection

    The following example requests information on the key airline_10, which is provided by default in the sample bucket travel-sample. The call uses the <scope>.<collection> option, to specify that the default scope and collection should be searched:

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbstats -u Administrator -p password \
    -b travel-sample localhost:11210 \
    vkey 'airline_10' 361 _default._default

    The response is as follows:

    verification for key airline_10
     key_cas:         1601426228785053696
     key_exptime:     0
     key_flags:       100663298
     key_is_dirty:    false
     key_is_resident: true
     key_valid:       data_mismatch
     key_vb_state:    active

    The following example, again using the <scope>.<collection> option, requests information on the key newTestDoc, contained in the administrator-created collection MyCollection; which is in the administrator-created scope MyScope, in the travel-sample bucket.

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbstats -u Administrator -p password \
    -b travel-sample localhost:11210 \
    vkey 'newTestDoc' 4 MyScope.MyCollection

    The response is as follows:

    verification for key newTestDoc
     key_cas:         1602139598762409984
     key_exptime:     0
     key_flags:       100663298
     key_is_dirty:    false
     key_is_resident: true
     key_valid:       valid
     key_vb_state:    active

    Get Key Information, Specifying Collection ID

    The following example requests information on the key airline_10, which is provided by default in the sample bucket travel-sample. The call uses the id <collectionID> option, to specify that the default collection should be searched:

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbstats -u Administrator -p password \
    -b travel-sample localhost:11210 \
    vkey 'airline_10' 361 id 0x0

    The response is as follows:

    verification for key airline_10
     key_cas:         1601426228785053696
     key_exptime:     0
     key_flags:       100663298
     key_is_dirty:    false
     key_is_resident: true
     key_valid:       data_mismatch
     key_vb_state:    active

    The following example, again using the id <collectionID> option, requests information on the key newTestDoc, contained in the administrator-created collection MyCollection, in the travel-sample bucket.

    /opt/couchbase/bin/cbstats -u Administrator -p password \
    -b travel-sample localhost:11210 \
    vkey 'newTestDoc' 4 id 0x9

    The response is as follows:

    verification for key newTestDoc
     key_cas:         1602139598762409984
     key_exptime:     0
     key_flags:       100663298
     key_is_dirty:    false
     key_is_resident: true
     key_valid:       valid
     key_vb_state:    active
