What do the prefixes (ep and vb) in couchbase monitoring statistics mean?

Viewed 57

While looking at the statistics for CouchBase monitoring, like ep_queue_size, vb_num_eject_replicas, ep_warmup_value_count, and vb_active_curr_items, I see that most of them are prefixed with ep_ or vb_. I have not been able to find any explanation on what these prefixes mean.

I have tried searching the docs at https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/manage/monitor/monitoring-cli.html but have found nothing. I think it might be that ep_ stands for ephemeral bucket and vb_ stands for vBucket, but that's just a wild guess.

ep refers to Eventually Persistent, referring to the eventually persistent data layer of Couchbase. Reference to it is here.

vb refers to vBucket. Reference to it is here.
