The address of the Couchbase server or servers to which you are connecting.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This value can be set to a hostname or an IP address, like "couchbase-server.com" or "1.2.3.4". It can also be set to an HTTP or HTTPS URL, such as "https://couchbase-server.com" or "http://1.2.3.4". If ConnectionMode is set to Cloud then this should be the hostname of the Couchbase Cloud instance as reported in the control panel.

If the URL form is used, then setting this option will also set the UseSSL option: if the URL scheme is "https://", then UseSSL will be set to true, and a URL with "http://" will set UseSSL to false.

A port value cannot be used as part of this option, so values like "http://couchbase-server.com:8093" are not allowed. Please use WebConsolePort, N1QLPort and AnalyticsPort.

This value can also accept multiple servers in the above format separated by commas, such as "1.2.3.4, couchbase-server.com". This will allow the driver to recover the connection in case some of the servers listed are inaccessible.

Note that while the driver will try to recover the connection as a whole, it may lose individual operations. For example, while a long-running query will fail if the server becomes inaccesssible while that query is running, that query can be retried on the same connection and the driver will execute it on the next active server.
