Automatic compaction in CouchDB 2.2

I have read the following article, because couchdb was busy almost all the space of my hard drive at an impressive speed.

Thanks to this article I have managed to reduce the size of my database from 19 GB to 19 MB.

But I would like the "compaction" to be done automatically, without me having to worry, so I followed the steps of that article, however, there is no way to verify that the configuration is working properly.

How can I determine if it is working correctly?
