Stopping a Graph Instance

Scenario

If you do not need to use a graph, you can stop it. After the graph is stopped, you cannot access it.

• Stopping a graph does not release resources.
• After seven days of stopping a graph, the system will automatically restart the graph database instance to ensure it can keep up with the maintenance updates provided by the service.

Procedure

1. Log in to the GES management console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Graph Management.
3. In the graph list, locate your desired graph, click More in the Operation column, and select Stop.
