This page explains how to restart instances in your cloud-based Magnolia package. You may want to do this, for example, if an instance is not reachable due to high CPU or memory usage, or if you use a YAML-based module descriptor for light modules.

When you restart an instance, the whole environment is unavailable for a short period of time (approx. 5 minutes).

Be aware that restarting the author instance will close user sessions and may cause the loss of content that is in progress. We recommend you warn your end-users before restarting the author instance.

To restart an instance:

  1. In the Package overview page, click Manage environments in the Environments section.
  2. Click Restart an instance.
  3. Choose the environment in which you want to restart an instance: Live, UAT or Integration and click Next.
  4. Choose the instance you want to restart. You can only select one instance at a time and click Next.

  5. Confirm the consequences of the restart and click Restart

    The operation takes approximately 5 minutes. During that time, the environment and all the instances it contains are unavailable. 
  6. Click OK. As all actions in the Magnolia cockpit are asynchronous, you can click on OK before the action is complete. The action runs in the background and a notification will display once it is complete. The action also appears in the activity log.
