Database statuses
A database can have one of several statuses. Each status has a different impact on your ability to use a database.
Statuses
To see the status of a specific database, open its Dashboard in the Astra Portal.
Status | Description |
---|---|
Active |
The database is available and ready to use. |
Initializing |
The database is being provisioned. It should be ready to use soon. |
Maintenance |
The database is either hibernating or resuming from hibernation. It is not available to use in this state. |
Hibernated |
Only applies to databases on the free plan. A free database is suspended after being inactive for more than 48 hours. It is not available to use in this state. A database resumes from hibernation automatically when you make an API request or access it in the Astra Portal. Resuming may take a few minutes. |
Terminating |
The database and all of its data are being deleted. |
Terminated |
The database and all of its data are no longer available. |
Error |
Something is wrong with the database. Contact DataStax Support. |
The DataStax Astra System Status dashboard shows the status of the Astra platform. |
