Pause and resume replication

Pause and resume replication

edit

To pause and resume replication of the leader index, access Cross-Cluster Replication and choose the Follower indices tab.

Select the follower index you want to pause and choose Manage > Pause Replication. The follower index status changes to Paused.

To resume replication, select the follower index and choose Resume replication.

API example

You can pause replication with the pause follower API and then later resume replication with the resume follower API. Using these APIs in tandem enables you to adjust the read and write parameters on the follower shard task if your initial configuration is not suitable for your use case.
