Stopping a Graph

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 tree on the left, select Graph Management.
3. Locate the target graph in the graph list and choose More > Stop in the Operation column.
