Manage NebulaGraph Service

You can use the nebula.service script to start, stop, restart, terminate, and check the NebulaGraph services. This topic takes starting, stopping and checking the NebulaGraph services for examples.

nebula.service is stored in the /usr/local/nebula/scripts directory by default, which is also the default installation path of NebulaGraph. If you have customized the path, use the actual path in your environment.

Syntax

$ sudo /usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service
[-v] [-c <config_file_path>]
<start|stop|restart|kill|status>
<metad|graphd|storaged|all>
Parameter Description
-v Display detailed debugging information.
-c Specify the configuration file path. The default path is /usr/local/nebula/etc/.
start Start the target services.
stop Stop the target services.
restart Restart the target services.
kill Terminate the target services.
status Check the status of the target services.
metad Set the Meta Service as the target service.
graphd Set the Graph Service as the target service.
storaged Set the Storage Service as the target service.
all Set all the NebulaGraph services as the target services.

Start NebulaGraph

In non-container environment

Run the following command to start NebulaGraph.

$ sudo /usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service start all
[INFO] Starting nebula-metad...
[INFO] Done
[INFO] Starting nebula-graphd...
[INFO] Done
[INFO] Starting nebula-storaged...
[INFO] Done

In docker container (deployed with docker-compose)

Run the following command in the nebula-docker-compose/ directory to start NebulaGraph.

[nebula-docker-compose]$ docker-compose up -d

Stop NebulaGraph

Danger

Do not run kill -9 to forcibly terminate the processes. Otherwise, there is a low probability of data loss.

In non-container environment

Run the following command to stop NebulaGraph.

$ sudo /usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service stop all
[INFO] Stopping nebula-metad...
[INFO] Done
[INFO] Stopping nebula-graphd...
[INFO] Done
[INFO] Stopping nebula-storaged...
[INFO] Done

In docker container (deployed with docker-compose)

Run the following command in the nebula-docker-compose/ directory to stop NebulaGraph.

nebula-docker-compose]$ docker-compose down
Stopping nebula-docker-compose_graphd_1    ... done
Stopping nebula-docker-compose_graphd2_1   ... done

Note

If you are using a developing or nightly version for testing and have compatibility issues, try to run docker-compose down -v to DELETE all data stored in NebulaGraph and import data again.

Check the service status

In non-container environment

Run the following command to check the service status of NebulaGraph.

$ sudo /usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service status all
  • NebulaGraph is running normally if the following information is returned.
    [INFO] nebula-metad(02b2091): Running as 26601, Listening on 9559
    [INFO] nebula-graphd(02b2091): Running as 26644, Listening on 9669
    [INFO] nebula-storaged(02b2091): Running as 26709, Listening on 9779
    
  • If the returned result is similar to the following one, there is a problem. You may also go to the NebulaGraph community for help.
    [INFO] nebula-metad: Running as 25600, Listening on 9559
    [INFO] nebula-graphd: Exited
    [INFO] nebula-storaged: Running as 25646, Listening on 9779
    

The NebulaGraph services consist of the Meta Service, Graph Service, and Storage Service. The configuration files for all three services are stored in the /usr/local/nebula/etc/ directory by default. You can check the configuration files according to the returned result to troubleshoot problems.

In docker container (deployed with docker-compose)

Run the following command in the nebula-docker-compose/ directory to check the service status of NebulaGraph.

nebula-docker-compose]$ docker-compose ps

If the service is abnormal, you can first confirm the abnormal container name (such as nebula-docker-compose_graphd2_1).

Then you can execute docker ps to view the corresponding CONTAINER ID (such as 2a6c56c405f5).

[nebula-docker-compose]$ docker ps
