Answer 1

vim /opt/couchbase/lib/ns_server/erlang/lib/ns_server/priv/public/ui/app.min.js /docBytesLimit
edit and save

Answer from support:

In Couchbase Server 4.5.0 we ship with a new UI, and the value for docBytesLimit is set in a different location (/opt/couchbase/lib/ns_server/erlang/lib/ns_server/priv/public/ui/app/constants/constants.js in 4.5.0 vs. /opt/couchbase/lib/ns_server/erlang/lib/ns_server/priv/public/js/documents.js for the old UI). There is a slight complication with the new UI, in that for performance reasons the JavaScript code is "minified" and the above constants.js is actually bundled in to /opt/couchbase/lib/ns_server/erlang/lib/ns_server/priv/public/ui/app.min.js when we build the Couchbase Server package. If you want to change the value for docBytesLimit you can either edit app.min.js directly, or you can edit constants.js and load the UI without using the "minified" version of the JavaScript by adding minified=false to the URL you use to connect to your cluster: http://my.couchbase.cluster:8091/ui/index.html?minified=false There will be a slight delay the first time you connect using this method.
