Restart an Elastic Cloud Hosted deployment

You can restart your deployment through the deployment overview UI or by using an API.

Restart your deployment through the deployment overview

You might need to restart your deployment while addressing issues, like cycling garbage collection.

On the deployment overview, from the Action drop-down menu select Restart Elasticsearch.

You can choose to restart without downtime or you can restart all nodes simultaneously.

Note that if you are looking to restart Elasticsearch to clear out deployment activity plan failures, you may instead run a no-op plan to re-synchronize the last successful configuration settings between Elastic Cloud Hosted and Elasticsearch.
