========================
Miscellaneous Parameters
========================
.. _config/attachments:
Configuration of Attachment Storage
===================================
.. config:section:: attachments :: Configuration of Attachment Storage
.. config:option:: compression_level
Defines zlib compression level for the attachments from ``1`` (lowest,
fastest) to ``9`` (highest, slowest). A value of ``0`` disables
compression::
[attachments]
compression_level = 8
.. config:option:: compressible_types
Since compression is ineffective for some types of files, it is
possible to let CouchDB compress only some types of attachments,
specified by their MIME type::
[attachments]
compressible_types = text/*, application/javascript, application/json, application/xml
.. _config/stats:
Statistic Calculation
=====================
.. config:section:: stats :: Statistic Calculation
.. config:option:: interval
Interval between gathering statistics in seconds::
[stats]
interval = 10
.. _config/uuids:
UUIDs Configuration
===================
.. config:section:: uuids :: UUIDs Configuration
.. config:option:: algorithm :: Generation Algorithm
.. versionchanged:: 1.3 Added ``utc_id`` algorithm.
CouchDB provides various algorithms to generate the UUID values that
are used for document `_id`'s by default::
[uuids]
algorithm = sequential
Available algorithms:
- ``random``: 128 bits of random awesome. All awesome, all the time:
.. code-block:: javascript
{
"uuids": [
"5fcbbf2cb171b1d5c3bc6df3d4affb32",
"9115e0942372a87a977f1caf30b2ac29",

"eb242b506a6ae330bda6969bb2677079"
]
}
- ``sequential``: Monotonically increasing ids with random increments.
The first 26 hex characters are random, the last 6 increment in
random amounts until an overflow occurs. On overflow, the random
prefix is regenerated and the process starts over.

"uuids": [

}
- ``utc_random``: The time since Jan 1, 1970 UTC, in microseconds. The
first 14 characters are the time in hex. The last 18 are random.
.. code-block:: javascript
{
"uuids": [

"04dd32b3af6ab558dd3f2c0afacb7d66"
]
}
- ``utc_id``: The time since Jan 1, 1970 UTC, in microseconds, plus the
``utc_id_suffix`` string. The first 14 characters are the time in
hex. The :option:`uuids/utc_id_suffix` string value is appended to
these.
.. code-block:: javascript
{
"uuids": [
"04dd32bd5eabcc@mycouch",
"04dd32bd5eabee@mycouch",
"04dd32bd5eac05@mycouch",

"04dd32bd5eacad@mycouch"
]
}
.. note::
**Impact of UUID choices:** the choice of UUID has a significant
impact on the layout of the B-tree, prior to compaction.
For example, using a sequential UUID algorithm while uploading a
large batch of documents will avoid the need to rewrite many
intermediate B-tree nodes. A random UUID algorithm may require
rewriting intermediate nodes on a regular basis, resulting in
significantly decreased throughput and wasted disk space space due to
the append-only B-tree design.
It is generally recommended to set your own UUIDs, or use the
sequential algorithm unless you have a specific need and take into
account the likely need for compaction to re-balance the B-tree and
reclaim wasted space.
.. config:option:: utc_id_suffix :: UTC ID Suffix
.. versionadded:: 1.3
The ``utc_id_suffix`` value will be appended to UUIDs generated by the
``utc_id`` algorithm. Replicating instances should have unique
``utc_id_suffix`` values to ensure uniqueness of ``utc_id`` ids. ::
[uuid]
utc_id_suffix = my-awesome-suffix
.. config:option:: max_count :: Per-Request UUID Limit
.. versionadded:: 1.5.1
No more than this number of UUIDs will be sent in a single request. If
more UUIDs are requested, an HTTP error response will be thrown. ::
[uuid]
max_count = 1000
.. _config/vendor:
Vendor information
==================
.. config:section:: vendor :: Vendor information
.. versionadded:: 1.3
CouchDB distributors have the option of customizing CouchDB's welcome
message. This is returned when requesting ``GET /``. ::
[vendor]
name = The Apache Software Foundation
version = 1.5.0
.. _config/csp:
Content-Security-Policy
=======================
.. config:section:: csp :: Content-Security-Policy
You can configure ``Content-Security-Policy`` header for Fauxton, attachments and
show/list functions separately. See `MDN Content-Security-Policy <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy>`_
for more details on CSP.
.. config:option:: utils_enable
Enable the sending of the header ``Content-Security-Policy`` for ``/_utils``.
Defaults to ``true``::
[csp]
utils_enable = true
.. config:option:: utils_header_value
Specifies the exact header value to send. Defaults to::
[csp]
utils_header_value = default-src 'self'; img-src 'self'; font-src *; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
.. config:option:: attachments_enable
Enable sending the ``Content-Security-Policy`` header for attachments::
[csp]
attachments_enable = true
.. config:option:: attachments_header_value
Specifies the exact header value to send. Defaults to::
[csp]
attachments_header_value = sandbox
.. config:option:: showlist_enable
Enable sending the ``Content-Security-Policy`` header for show and list functions::
[csp]
showlist_enable = true
.. config:option:: showlist_header_value
Specifies the exact header value to send. Defaults to::
[csp]
showlist_header_value = sandbox
The pre 3.2.0 behaviour is still honoured, but we recommend updating
to the new format.
Experimental support of CSP headers for ``/_utils`` (Fauxton).
.. config:option:: enable
Enable the sending of the Header ``Content-Security-Policy``::
[csp]
enable = true
.. config:option:: header_value
You can change the default value for the Header which is sent::
[csp]
header_value = default-src 'self'; img-src *; font-src *;
