# durability-monitor

> Provides durability statistics in relation to vBuckets. 

## [](#syntax)Syntax

Request syntax:

cbstats host:11210 [common options] durability-monitor vbid

## [](#description)Description

This command provides durability statistics for the specified vBucket. Note that the vBucket ID _must_ be specified.

In the displayed output, the identifier for each durability statistic begins with the string `vb_`, followed by the vBucket ID and a colon. For example, for vBucket 1023, the identifier for the `high_prepared_seqno` statistic is `vb_1023:high_prepared_seqno`.

For an overview of durability in Couchbase Server, see [Durability](../../learn/data/durability.md).

| high\_prepared\_seqno                                                 | The highest sequence number among the prepared durable writes for the vBucket. _Prepared_ durable writes are those in progress, and therefore not yet committed or aborted. The _highest_ sequence number is that of the durable write that has most recently met its durability requirements on the node for the vBucket. The durability requirements depend on the durability level specified for the write. Provided for both active and replica vBuckets. |

Provided for replica vBuckets only.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
