Managing Database Clusters
To perform database/cluster-specific tasks on one or more MC-managed clusters, navigate to the Databases and Clusters page.
MC administrators see the Import/Create Database Cluster options, while non-administrative MC users see only the databases on which they have been assigned the appropriate access levels. Depending on your access level, the database-related operations you can perform on the MC interface include:
- Create a new database/cluster.
- Import an existing database/cluster into the MC interface.
- Start the database, unless it is already running (green).
- Stop the database, but only if no users are connected.
-
Remove the database from the MC interface.
Note: Remove does not drop the database. A Remove operation leaves it in the cluster, hidden from the UI. To add the database back to the MC interface, import it using the IP address of any cluster node. A Remove operation also stops metrics gathering on that database, but statistics gathering automatically resumes after you re-import.
- Drop the database after you ensure no users are connected. Drop is a permanent action that drops the database from the cluster.
- View the Overview page, a dashboard view into the health of your database cluster. From this page you can drill down into more detailed database-specific information by clicking data points in the graphs.
- View the Manage page, which shows all nodes in the cluster, as well as each node's state. You can also see a list of monitored databases on the selected cluster and its state. For example, a green arrow indicates a database in an UP state. For node-specific information, click any node to open the Node Details page.
