Couchbase Database discovery
The ServiceNow Discovery application uses the Couchbase Instance discovery pattern to find and map Couchbase Database instances and their clusters. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
Couchbase Database is an open source, distributed database that manages JSON documents. One or more instances of a Couchbase Server constitute a cluster. Data and services are shared across the cluster.
Discovery uses the Couchbase Instance discovery pattern to run horizontal and top-down discovery. You can use this pattern on the ServiceNow AI Platform® using the Quebec release or later.

Prerequisites
- The Couchbase Database must be installed on a Linux Server: Red Hat 7.9 or Ubuntu 20.
- Ensure that CLI tools are installed on the servers.
- On the ServiceNow AI Platform, configure SSH credentials. Configure the credentials with the following permissions:
- Discovery permissions
- Permissions to list files, such as VERSION.txt, in the Couchbase installation folders on the Linux Server.
- Permissions to execute the command,
systemctl status couchbase-server, on the Linux Server.
On the ServiceNow AI Platform, configure applicative credentials for the table cmdb_ci_couchbase_instance. The credentials must have sufficient permissions to execute the following commands on the Couchbase Server:
<couchbase install dir>/bin/curl -u <username>:'<password>' http://"<couchbase server>:<access_port>/pools/<couchbase install dir>/bin/curl -u <username>:'<password>' http://"<couchbase server>:<access_port>/pools/<default Pool name><couchbase install dir>/bin/curl -u <username>:'<password>' http://"<couchbase server>:<access_port>/pools/<default Pool name>/buckets<couchbase install dir>/bin/curl -u <username>:'<password>' http://"<couchbase server>:<access_port>/pools/<default Pool name>/remoteClusters
