Deleting an Elasticsearch cluster
Warning
Yandex Managed Service for Elasticsearch is unavailable as of April 11, 2024.
You can create an OpenSearch cluster in Yandex Cloud as an alternative to Elasticsearch.
You can delete an Elasticsearch cluster if you no longer need it. All data in the cluster will be deleted.
Before deleting a cluster
- Disable deletion protection for the cluster if it is enabled.
- Save the cluster ID.
You will need the cluster ID when restoring a deleted cluster from a backup.
After you delete a database cluster, its backups will be kept for seven days for recovery purposes.
Deleting a cluster
- In the management console, select the folder you want to delete a cluster from.
- Select Managed Service for Elasticsearch.
- Click the icon for the required cluster and select Delete.
- In the window that opens, click Delete.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
To delete a cluster, run the command:
yc managed-elasticsearch cluster delete <cluster_name_or_ID>
You can request the cluster ID and name with a list of clusters in the folder.
With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.
For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.
If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.
To delete a cluster created using Terraform:
-
In the command line, go to the folder that houses the current Terraform configuration file with an infrastructure plan.
-
Delete the resources using this command:
terraform destroyAlert
Terraform will delete all the resources you created using it, such as clusters, networks, subnets, and VMs.
-
Type
yesand press Enter.
Time limits
A Terraform provider sets the timeout for Managed Service for Elasticsearch cluster operations:
- Creating a cluster, including by restoring one from a backup: 30 minutes.
- Editing a cluster: 60 minutes.
- Deleting a cluster: 15 minutes.
Operations exceeding the set timeout are interrupted.
How do I change these limits?
Add the timeouts block to the cluster description, for example:
resource "yandex_mdb_elasticsearch_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
...
timeouts {
create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes
update = "2h" # 2 hours
delete = "30m" # 30 minutes
}
}
To delete a cluster, use the delete REST API method for the Cluster resource or the ClusterService/Delete gRPC API call and provide the ID of the cluster to delete in the clusterId request parameter.
You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.
