Restart Hyperdrive configuration from dashboard
Hyperdrive configurations can now be restarted from the Cloudflare dashboard to drain the connection pool and force new connections to your origin database. This manual action is available as a break-glass recovery option when automatic failover detection is insufficient.
You can now restart a Hyperdrive configuration from the Cloudflare dashboard. Restarting drains the connection pool and forces Hyperdrive to establish new connections to your origin database.
Restarting is a break-glass action. Hyperdrive automatically detects and recovers from most database failovers. Use a manual restart only when you need to force the pool to drain immediately.
To restart, select your Hyperdrive configuration in the Cloudflare dashboard ↗, go to the Settings tab, and select Restart under Danger zone. Restarting requires the Hyperdrive Admin role. After a restart, the Settings tab shows when the configuration was last manually restarted.
Caution
Restarting drops all active connections in the pool and forces them to be re-established. In-flight queries may see brief errors while the pool rebuilds.
For more information, refer to Connection pooling.
