Overview

The Admin REST API is a secondary API provided by the Query service. This API enables you to retrieve statistics about the clusters and nodes running the Query service; view or specify node-level settings; and view or delete requests.

The API schemes and host URLs are as follows:

  • http://node:8093/

  • https://node:18093/ (for secure access)

where node is the host name or IP address of a computer running the N1QL query engine.

Settings

Name Description Schema

atrcollection
optional

Specifies the collection where active transaction records are stored. The collection must be present. If not specified, the active transaction record is stored in the default collection in the default scope in the bucket containing the first mutated document within the transaction.

The value must be a string in the form "bucket.scope.collection" or "namespace:bucket.scope.collection". If any part of the path contains a special character, that part of the path must be delimited in backticks ``.

The request-level atrcollection parameter specifies this property per request. If a request does not include this parameter, the node-level atrcollection setting will be used.
Default : ""
Example : "default:`travel-sample`.transaction.test"

string

auto-prepare
optional

Specifies whether the query engine should create a prepared statement every time a N1QL request is submitted, whether the PREPARE statement is included or not.

Refer to Auto-Prepare for more information.
Default : false
Example : true

boolean

cleanupclientattempts
optional

When enabled, the Query service preferentially aims to clean up just transactions that it has created, leaving transactions for the distributed cleanup process only when it is forced to.

The cluster-level queryCleanupClientAttempts setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.
Default : true
Example : false

boolean

cleanuplostattempts
optional

When enabled, the Query service takes part in the distributed cleanup process, and cleans up expired transactions created by any client.

The cluster-level queryCleanupLostAttempts setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.
Default : true
Example : false

boolean

cleanupwindow
optional

Specifies how frequently the Query service checks its subset of active transaction records for cleanup. Decreasing this setting causes expiration transactions to be found more swiftly, with the tradeoff of increasing the number of reads per second used for the scanning process.

The value for this setting is a string. Its format includes an amount and a mandatory unit, e.g. 10ms (10 milliseconds) or 0.5s (half a second). Valid units are:

  • ns (nanoseconds)

  • us (microseconds)

  • ms (milliseconds)

  • s (seconds)

  • m (minutes)

  • h (hours)

The cluster-level queryCleanupWindow setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.
Default : "60s"
Example : "30s"

string (duration)

completed
optional

A nested object that sets the parameters for the completed requests catalog. All completed requests that match these parameters are tracked in the completed requests catalog.

Refer to Configure the Completed Requests for more information and examples.
Example : { "user" : "marco", "error" : 12003 }

completed-limit
optional

Sets the number of requests to be logged in the completed requests catalog. As new completed requests are added, old ones are removed.

Increase this when the completed request keyspace is not big enough to track the slow requests, such as when you want a larger sample of slow requests.

Refer to Configure the Completed Requests for more information and examples.

The cluster-level queryCompletedLimit setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.
Default : 4000
Example : 7000

integer (int32)

completed-threshold
optional

A duration in milliseconds. All completed queries lasting longer than this threshold are logged in the completed requests catalog.

Specify 0 to track all requests, independent of duration. Specify any negative number to track none.

Refer to Configure the Completed Requests for more information and examples.

The cluster-level queryCompletedThreshold setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.
Default : 1000
Example : 7000

integer (int32)

controls
optional

Specifies if there should be a controls section returned with the request results.

When set to true, the query response document includes a controls section with runtime information provided along with the request, such as positional and named parameters or settings.

If the request qualifies for caching, these values will also be cached in the completed_requests system keyspace.

The request-level controls parameter specifies this property per request. If a request does not include this parameter, the node-level controls setting will be used.
Default : false
Example : true

boolean

cpuprofile
optional

The absolute path and filename to write the CPU profile to a local file.

The output file includes a controls section and performance measurements, such as memory allocation and garbage collection, to pinpoint bottlenecks and ways to improve your code execution.

To stop cpuprofile, run with the empty setting of "".

If cpuprofile is left running too long, it can slow the system down as its file size increases.

Default : ""
Example : "/tmp/info.txt"

string

debug
optional

Use debug mode.

When set to true, extra logging is provided.
Default : false
Example : true

boolean

distribute
optional

This field is only available with the POST method. When specified alongside other settings, this field instructs the node that is processing the request to cascade those settings to all other query nodes. The actual value of this field is ignored.
Example : true

boolean

functions-limit

The cluster-level queryLogLevel setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.
Default : "INFO"
Example : "DEBUG"

enum (DEBUG, TRACE, INFO, WARN, ERROR, SEVERE, NONE)

max-index-api
optional

Max index API. This setting is provided for technical support only.

integer (int32)

max-parallelism
optional

Specifies the maximum parallelism for queries on this node.

If the value is zero or negative, the maximum parallelism is restricted to the number of allowed cores. Similarly, if the value is greater than the number of allowed cores, the maximum parallelism is restricted to the number of allowed cores.

(The number of allowed cores is the same as the number of logical CPUs. In Community Edition, the number of allowed cores cannot be greater than 4. In Enterprise Edition, there is no limit to the number of allowed cores.)

The cluster-level queryMaxParallelism setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.

In addition, there is a request-level max_parallelism parameter. If a request includes this parameter, it will be capped by the node-level max-parallelism setting.

To enable queries to run in parallel, you must specify the cluster-level queryMaxParallelism parameter, or specify the node-level max-parallelism parameter on all Query nodes.

Refer to Max Parallelism for more information.

Default : false
Example : true

boolean

profile
optional

Specifies if there should be a profile section returned with the request results. The valid values are:

off — No profiling information is added to the query response.

phases — The query response includes a profile section with stats and details about various phases of the query plan and execution. Three phase times will be included in the system:active_requests and system:completed_requests monitoring keyspaces.

timings — Besides the phase times, the profile section of the query response document will include a full query plan with timing and information about the number of processed documents at each phase. This information will be included in the system:active_requests and system:completed_requests keyspaces.

If profile is not set as one of the above values, then the profile setting does not change.

Refer to Monitoring and Profiling Details for more information and examples.

The request-level profile parameter specifies this property per request. If a request does not include this parameter, the node-level profile setting will be used.
