Restarting an Instance or a Node

You may need to occasionally restart an instance to perform routine maintenance. For example, after modifying certain parameters, the instance may need to be restarted to apply the changes.

Precautions

  • You can restart an instance only when its status is Available.
  • Restarting an instance will interrupt services. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
  • This instance is not available when it is being restarted. Restarting an instance will clear the cached memory in it. You are advised to restart it during off-peak hours.
  • If you restart an instance, all nodes in the instance are also restarted.
  • You can restart a cluster instance by restarting any mongos, shard, or config node. During the restart, the node cannot be accessed.
