The Sync Gateway provides a number of runtime variables that you can view for debugging or performance monitoring purposes. These are served using the built-in Go expvar package, and you access them by sending a GET /_expvar to the admin port.
The response is a JSON object. The top level keys are generally defined by various subsystems, and their values are objects containing individual keys with numeric values.
Built-in variables from the Go runtime. cmdline lists the command-line arguments, and memstats dumps a large amount of information about the memory heap and garbage collector.
