Data on the cluster and host state is available in the management console. You can view them on the Monitoring tab of the cluster management page or in Yandex Monitoring.

Diagnostic information about cluster states is presented as graphs.

Charts are updated once a minute.

Note

The most appropriate multiple units (MB, GB, and more) are automatically used in charts.

You can configure alerts in Yandex Monitoring to receive notifications about cluster failures. In Yandex Monitoring, there are two alert thresholds: Warning and Alarm. If the specified threshold is exceeded, you will receive alerts via the configured notification channels.

  • Time when the cluster entered the DEAD state according to availability charts.
UNKNOWN The cluster’s state is unknown. Contact support and specify the following:
  • Cluster ID.
  • IDs of the last operations performed on it.
  • Time when the cluster entered the UNKNOWN state according to availability charts.

Cluster statusesCluster statuses

Status Description Suggested actions
CREATING Preparing for the first start Wait a while and get started. The time it takes to create a cluster depends on the host class.
RUNNING The cluster is operating normally No action is required.
STOPPING The cluster is stopping After a while, the cluster status will switch to STOPPED and the cluster will be disabled. No action is required.
STOPPED The cluster is stopped Start the cluster to get it running again.
