Starting and stopping cluster

How to start and stop your Data Center Edition's cluster.

There is no way to perform actions on the cluster from a central app - all operations must be done manually on each node of the cluster.

1. Start the search nodes.

2. Start the application nodes.

Stop the cluster

To stop a cluster, you need to follow these steps in order:

Start or stop a node

You can start or stop a single node in the same way as starting and stopping an instance using a single server. By default, it’s a graceful shutdown where no new analysis report processing can start, but the tasks in progress are allowed to finish.
