# PostgreSQL cluster maintenance

You can manage the [technical maintenance](../concepts/maintenance.md) of a Yandex Managed Service for PostgreSQL cluster.

## Getting a list of maintenance jobs {#list-maintenance}

  1. Navigate to **Managed Service for PostgreSQL**.
  1. Click the name of your cluster and select the **Maintenance** tab.

To view maintenance jobs with a specific status, click **Status** above the maintenance list and select the status you want from the drop-down menu. You can also find a maintenance job by its ID or job name using the search field above the list.

Click an ID to see [how the maintenance job affects cluster availability](../concepts/maintenance.md#impact-on-cluster). Look up **Task details** to see how the maintenance job affects users.

## Getting maintenance-related cluster logs {#maintenance-logs}

  1. Navigate to **Managed Service for PostgreSQL**.
  1. Click the name of your cluster and select the **Maintenance** tab.
  1. Click the ID of the maintenance job you need.
  1. Click **Task logs**.

## Postpone the planned maintenance {#postpone-planned-maintenance}

Maintenance jobs with the **Planned** status have a specific scheduled date and time specified in the **Start date** column. You can reschedule them to a new date and time if needed.

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  To reschedule maintenance for a new date and time:

  1. Navigate to **Managed Service for PostgreSQL**.
  1. Click the name of your cluster and select the **Maintenance** tab.
  1. Click ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg) next to the maintenance job with the **Planned** status.
  1. In the drop-down menu, select ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/arrow-uturn-cw-right.svg) **Postpone**.
  1. In the window that opens:
      * To postpone the maintenance until the next available window, click **Next window** and then **Reschedule**.
      * To reschedule maintenance to a specific UTC date and time, click **Choose date (UTC)**, then select a new date and time interval and click **Reschedule**.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  To reschedule maintenance for a new date and time:

  1. See the description of the CLI command for rescheduling maintenance :

      ```bash
      yc managed-postgresql cluster reschedule-maintenance --help
      ```

  1. To reschedule to the next available window, run this command using the `next-available-window` reschedule type. To reschedule to a specific date and time, use the `specific-time` reschedule type:

      ```bash
      yc managed-postgresql cluster reschedule-maintenance <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --reschedule-type <reschedule_type> \
         --delayed-until <timestamp>
      ```

      The timestamp must be in one of the following formats:
        * [RFC-3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt)
        * HH:MM:SS
        * Number of hours and minutes by which to move the maintenance.

      For example, `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z`, `15:04:05`, `2h`, or `3h30m ago`. When selecting the `next-available-window` reschedule type, you do not need to specify `--delayed-until`.

  You can get the cluster name with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

- REST API {#api}

  To reschedule maintenance for a new date and time:

    1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable:

        ```bash
        export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
        ```

    1. Call the [Cluster.rescheduleMaintenance](../api-ref/Cluster/rescheduleMaintenance.md) method, for instance, via the following [cURL](https://curl.se/) request:

        ```bash
        curl \
        --request POST \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
        --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-postgresql/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>:rescheduleMaintenance' \
        --data '{
                    "rescheduleType": <reschedule_type>,
                    "delayedUntil": <timestamp>
                }'
        ```

        Where `rescheduleType` is the reschedule type that can be one of the  following values:

          * `NEXT_AVAILABLE_WINDOW`: Postpone maintenance until the next available window.
          * `SPECIFIC_TIME`: Move the maintenance to a specific date and time.

        The timestamp must be in [RFC-3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) format, e.g., `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z`. When selecting the `NEXT_AVAILABLE_WINDOW` reschedule type, you do not need to specify `delayedUntil`.

        You can get the cluster ID from the [folder’s cluster list](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

    1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/Cluster/rescheduleMaintenance.md#yandex.cloud.operation.Operation) to make sure your request was successful.

- gRPC API {#grpc-api}

  1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable:

     ```bash
     export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
     ```

     ```bash
     cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
     ```
     
     Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the `~/cloudapi/` directory.
  1. Call the [ClusterService.RescheduleMaintenance](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/rescheduleMaintenance.md) method, for instance, via the following [gRPCurl](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl) request:

     ```bash
     grpcurl \
       -format json \
       -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
       -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
       -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/postgresql/v1/cluster_service.proto \
       -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
       -d '{
             "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>",
             "reschedule_type": <reschedule_type>,
             "delayed_until": <timestamp>
           }' \
       mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
       yandex.cloud.mdb.postgresql.v1.ClusterService.RescheduleMaintenance
     ```

     Where `reschedule_type` is the reschedule type that can be one of the following values:

        * `NEXT_AVAILABLE_WINDOW`: Move the maintenance to the nearest window.
        * `SPECIFIC_TIME`: Move the maintenance to a specific date and time.

     The timestamp must be in [RFC-3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) format, e.g., `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z`. When selecting the `NEXT_AVAILABLE_WINDOW` reschedule type, you do not need to specify `delayed_until`.

     You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

  1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/rescheduleMaintenance.md#yandex.cloud.mdb.postgresql.v1.Cluster) to make sure your request was successful.

## Configuring a maintenance window {#set-maintenance-window}

By default, maintenance can be scheduled for any time. You can choose a specific day of the week and hour to schedule maintenance. For example, you can choose the time when the cluster is least busy.

{% note warning %}

When you select a new maintenance window, any scheduled maintenance that does not fall within it will be automatically canceled.

{% endnote %}

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. Navigate to **Managed Service for&nbsp;PostgreSQL**.
  1. Click the name of your cluster and select the **Maintenance** tab.
  1. Click ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/calendar.svg) **Configure the maintenance window**.
  1. In the window that opens:
     * To allow maintenance at any time, select **At any time**, which is also the default option.
     * To allow weekly maintenance at a specific time, select **By schedule** and specify the weekday and hour in UTC.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for updating the maintenance window:

      ```bash
      yc managed-postgresql cluster update --help
      ```

  1. Run this command:

      ```bash
      yc managed-postgresql cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --maintenance-window type=<maintenance_type>,`
                             `day=<day_of_week>,`
                             `hour=<hour>
      ```

      Where `type` is the maintenance type:

      * `anytime`: Any time (default).
      * `weekly`: On a schedule. For this value, also specify the following:
          * `day`: Day of week, i.e., `MON`, `TUE`, `WED`, `THU`, `FRI`, `SAT`, or `SUN`.
          * `hour`: Sequence number of UTC hour interval, from `1` to `24`.
      
            > For example, `1` stands for the interval from `00:00` to `01:00`, and `5`, from `04:00` to `05:00`.

  You can get the cluster name with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

- Terraform {#tf}

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

      For more on how to create this file, see [Creating a cluster](cluster-create.md).

      For a complete list of configurable Managed Service for PostgreSQL cluster fields, see [this Terraform provider guide](../../terraform/resources/mdb_postgresql_cluster.md).

  1. To set up the [maintenance window](../concepts/maintenance.md) that will also apply to stopped clusters, add the `maintenance_window` section to the cluster description:
     
     ```hcl
     resource "yandex_mdb_postgresql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
       ...
       maintenance_window {
         type = "<maintenance_type>"
         day  = "<day_of_week>"
         hour = <sequence_number_of_hour_interval>
       }
       ...
     }
     ```
     
     Where:
     
     * `type`: Maintenance type. The possible values include:
         * `ANYTIME`: Any time.
         * `WEEKLY`: On a schedule.
     * `day`: Day of week for the `WEEKLY` type, i.e., `MON`, `TUE`, `WED`, `THU`, `FRI`, `SAT`, or `SUN`.
     * `hour`: Sequence number of UTC hour interval for the `WEEKLY` type, from `1` to `24`.
     
       > For example, `1` stands for the interval from `00:00` to `01:00`, and `5`, from `04:00` to `05:00`.

  1. Make sure the settings are correct.

      1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.
      1. Run this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform validate
         ```
      
         Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

  1. Confirm updating the resources.

      1. Run this command to view the planned changes:
      
         ```bash
         terraform plan
         ```
      
         If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.
      
      1. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:
         1. Run this command:
      
            ```bash
            terraform apply
            ```
      
         1. Confirm updating the resources.
         1. Wait for the operation to complete.

      {% note warning "Timeouts" %}
      
      The Terraform provider sets the following timeouts for Managed Service for PostgreSQL cluster operations:
      
      * Creating a cluster, including restoration from a backup: 30 minutes.
      * Updating a cluster: 60 minutes.
      * Deleting a cluster: 15 minutes.
      
      Operations exceeding the timeout are aborted.
      
      {% cut "How can I change these timeouts?" %}
      
      Add a `timeouts` section to the cluster description, e.g.:
      
      ```hcl
      resource "yandex_mdb_postgresql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
        ...
        timeouts {
          create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes
          update = "2h"    # 2 hours
          delete = "30m"   # 30 minutes
