Restarting a Kafka Instance

You can restart one or more Kafka instances in batches on the DMS console.

Important

When a Kafka instance is being restarted, message retrieval and creation requests of clients will be rejected.

Prerequisites

The status of the Kafka instance you want to restart is either Running or Faulty.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the console.

  2. Click image1 in the upper left corner to select a region.

    Note

    Select the region where your Kafka instance is located.

  3. Click Service List and choose Application > Distributed Message Service. The Kafka instance list is displayed.

  4. Restart Kafka instances using one of the following methods:

    • Select one or more Kafka instances and click Restart in the upper left corner.

    • In the row containing the desired instance, click Restart.

    • Click the desired Kafka instance to view its details. In the upper right corner, click Restart.

  5. In the Restart Instance dialog box, click Yes to restart the Kafka instance.

    It takes 3 to 15 minutes to restart a Kafka instance. After the instance is successfully restarted, its status should be Running.

    Note

    Restarting a Kafka instance only restarts the instance process and does not restart the VM where the instance is located.
