Locking a Cluster

If you’re looking at a particular ClickHouse® cluster, there is a lock button at the top of the panel that allows you to prevent any changes to the cluster. Operations that don’t change the cluster, such as creating a backup or exporting the cluster's configuration, are still allowed.

Be aware that anyone with appropriate access can lock or unlock the cluster at any time.

To lock or unlock the cluster, simply click the lock button:

The button turns red when locked and returns to transparent when unlocked.
