Forcibly Restarting VMs in a Cluster

If a Logstash cluster is faulty due to long-term running or other unknown reasons, you can forcibly restart the cluster to restore it. A cluster is unavailable during the restart. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

You can perform the following steps to forcibly restart a cluster:

1. Log in to the CSS management console.
2. Choose Clusters > Logstash. In the Operation column of a Logstash cluster, click More > Force Restart.
3. In the Force Restart Cluster VM dialog box, read the precautions and click OK.

   During the cluster restart, the cluster status is Processing and the task status is Restarting. If the cluster status changes to Available, the cluster has been restarted successfully.
