Stopping and starting a 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 a 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 clusterStopping a cluster

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, go to the folder dashboard and select Managed Service for Elasticsearch.
  2. Find the cluster in the list, click , and select Stop.
  3. 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 CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command 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 the 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.
