Stopping and starting 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 stop and restart an Elasticsearch cluster as needed. When stopped, a cluster retains all its data. The data will be available again as soon as you restart the cluster.
You are not charged for the time when your cluster is stopped; however, you still have to pay for the storage size based on the pricing policy.
Alert
If a cluster uses local SSD storage (local-ssd), its computing resources are not released when it's stopped. This means that you are charged in full even for a stopped cluster.
Stopping a cluster
- In the management console, go to the folder page and select Managed Service for Elasticsearch.
- Find the cluster in the list, click , and select Stop.
- In the dialog box that opens, confirm that you want to stop the cluster and click Stop.
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 stop a cluster, run the command:
yc managed-elasticsearch cluster stop <cluster_name_or_ID>
You can request the cluster name and ID with a list of clusters in the folder.
To stop a cluster, use the stop REST API method for the Cluster resource or the ClusterService/Stop gRPC API call and provide the cluster ID in the clusterId request parameter.
You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.
