I took the following approach:

1) Monitor using splunk only the error log file.
2) Created a custom splunk search command to obtain couchbase cluster and node information. The custom search command is scheduled to obtain the state of the cluster every 5 min. Depending on the state of the cluster, we trigger notification alerts.

I'm using couchbase 3.0.1. The inputs.conf looks like this:

[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/babysitter.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:babysitter-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/couchdb.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:couchdb-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/debug.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:debug-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/error.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:error-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/http_access.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:http_access-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/info.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:info-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/mapreduce_errors.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:mapreduce_errors-log
[monitor:///opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/reports.log]
index = couchbase
sourcetype = server:reports-log
