The MIM agent allows statistics to be created and sent as metrics to the System Insight service, which you can then visualize, e.g. in Grafana. You can also log the statistics to file instead of using System Insight. For further information on logging to file, see 8.5 Couchbase Profile.

Example workflow with a MIM agent

The Couchbase statistics that you can log include:

Maximum answer time
Average answer time
Number of failed CRUDS
Maximum lock time
Average lock time
Number of failed locks
Number of timed out locks

Since the MIM agent is intended for use with System Insight, there are several preparations required before you create and run your workflow with a MIM agent, and several steps required after configuring your workflow to manage System Insight. The steps required are provided in 9.79.6.1 MIM Agent Preparations and 9.79.6.2 MIM Agent Configuration.
