Has anyone noticed couchdb randomly dying? The logs aren’t helpful at all. I’ll continue to look into it… just thought someone may have encountered this problem before.
BTW, I’m running on CentOS 5.3…
[me@chef001 ~]# rpm -qa | grep chef
rubygem-chef-0.7.10-1.el5
rubygem-chef-server-0.7.10-1.el5
rubygem-chef-server-slice-0.7.10-1.el5
[me@chef001 ~]# couchdb -V
couchdb - Apache CouchDB 0.9.1

The logs certainly are helpful, just plentiful. It's a massive tuple, and would help with diagnosis.
BTW, I'm running on CentOS 5.3..
[me@chef001 ~]# rpm -qa | grep chef
rubygem-chef-0.7.10-1.el5
rubygem-chef-server-0.7.10-1.el5
rubygem-chef-server-slice-0.7.10-1.el5[me@chef001 ~]# couchdb -V
couchdb - Apache CouchDB 0.9.1
If possible, I'd suggest upgrading to CouchDB 0.10, although 0.9.1 was substantially more stable than 0.8.x

Can you confirm that you are compacting couch?

Thanks for the feedback. BTW, didn't mean to slam couchdb logging.. just
that I'm not familiar with reading them yet.
So, I did add a recipe to compact couchdb. After you metnioned that, I
noticed it was growing excessively large. File size went from ~2GB to 2MB
after compacting!
I'll continue to monitor the couch instance and report back if it continues
to die. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Matt,
If you add to the Chef Server's runlist chef::server running the latest cookbooks from GitHub - chef-boneyard/cookbooks: DEPRECATED: This repository has been split up into separate repositories by cookbook under the "opscode-cookbooks" organization. it will do a compaction if your chef.couch is > 100megs on each client run; which will greatly help in avoiding said situation.
Additionally there is a bug in apache's system [COUCHDB-275] couch crashes erlang vm under heavy load - ASF JIRA ... basically you would need to update erlang in order to fix it... or you run couchdb 0.8, and that with the bugged erlang can cause 20gb couch files that won't compact.
But basically if you use the chef::server recipe it will help ensure your couchdb won't grow too big
