Sessions that Can Be Killed If Necessary

You can end the sessions that can be killed if necessary in the following scenarios:

  • If the number of sessions of an instance has reached the upper limit and the instance cannot be logged in to any longer, you can view and kill unnecessary sessions using the emergency channel function.
  • You can view history logs to learn details of the kill operations that you performed using the emergency channel function.

Usage Notes

Killing a session may cause instance or service exceptions.

Prerequisites

  • The kernel version of TaurusDB 5.6 must be 5.6.43.3 or later, and the kernel version of TaurusDB 5.7 must be 5.7.25.3 or later.
  • This function is not available to ECS-hosted instances and instances in the creating, frozen, or abnormal state.
  • Use this function in urgent conditions. All your kill operations will be logged.
  • This function is not recommended if you can log in to your instance on the DAS console. After logging in to the instance, you can perform required operations on the Real-Time Sessions page.
  • Sessions of sensitive users such as rdsadmin, rdsbackup, rdsmetric, and rdsRepl cannot be killed.
  • When the CPU usage or the number of connections reaches the upper limit, requests to kill sessions may time out. In this case, you have to try more than once.
