Hyperdrive - Restart a Hyperdrive configuration from the dashboard

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>To restart, select your Hyperdrive configuration in the <a href="https://dash.cloudflare.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cloudflare dashboard<span class="external-link"> ↗︎</span></a>, go to the <strong>Settings</strong> tab, and select <strong>Restart</strong> under <strong>Danger zone</strong>. Restarting requires the <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/manage-members/roles/"><strong>Hyperdrive Admin</strong> role</a>. After a restart, the <strong>Settings</strong> tab shows when the configuration was last manually restarted.</p> <img src="https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=1698,height=468,format=webp/_astro/dashboard-restart-danger-zone.D1h69zVU.png" alt="The Danger zone section of the Hyperdrive Settings tab, showing the Restart and Delete actions." loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1698" height="468"> <aside role="note" aria-label="Caution" class="aside-card flex items-start gap-3 rounded-lg px-4 py-3 my-4" style="--_c: var(--nb-warning); --_t: var(--nb-warning-muted);" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><span class="flex h-[1.375em] shrink-0 items-center" aria-hidden="true" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><svg width="1em" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 256 256" class="h-[1em] w-[1em]" data-astro-cid-znle5jil="true" data-icon="ph:warning"><path fill="currentColor" d="M236.8 188.09L149.35 36.22a24.76 24.76 0 0 0-42.7 0L19.2 188.09a23.51 23.51 0 0 0 0 23.72A24.35 24.35 0 0 0 40.55 224h174.9a24.35 24.35 0 0 0 21.33-12.19a23.51 23.51 0 0 0 .02-23.72m-13.87 15.71a8.5 8.5 0 0 1-7.48 4.2H40.55a8.5 8.5 0 0 1-7.48-4.2a7.59 7.59 0 0 1 0-7.72l87.45-151.87a8.75 8.75 0 0 1 15 0l87.45 151.87a7.59 7.59 0 0 1-.04 7.72M120 144v-40a8 8 0 0 1 16 0v40a8 8 0 0 1-16 0m20 36a12 12 0 1 1-12-12a12 12 0 0 1 12 12"/></svg></span><div class="flex min-w-0 flex-1 flex-col gap-0.5" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><p class="m-0 text-base leading-snug font-semibold" data-astro-cid-znle5jil>Caution</p><div class="aside-card-body text-sm leading-normal" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><p>Restarting drops all active connections in the pool and forces them to be re-established.
