:description: The page describes how to restart Neo4j pods after modifying ConfigMaps or secrets. | ||
|
||
= Make a configuration change | ||
|
||
When you update ConfigMaps or secrets (for example, updating GDS or Bloom license values), you have to restart your Neo4j pod so that the changes take effect. | ||
|
||
You have two options for restarting: | ||
|
||
* To run the `kubectl delete pod` command as follows: | ||
+ | ||
[source, shell] | ||
---- | ||
kubectl delete pod <pod_name> | ||
---- | ||
+ | ||
You manually delete the Neo4j pod. | ||
Kubernetes will automatically recreate it with the updated configuration. | ||
|
||
* To use the `kubectl rollout restart` command: | ||
+ | ||
[source, shell] | ||
---- | ||
kubectl rollout restart statefulset/<neo4j-statefulset-name> | ||
---- | ||
+ | ||
A rollout restart means a gradual recreation of a pod — the old pod is not removed entirely until the new pod is running successfully. | ||
This process is safer and ensures that your application remains available throughout the restart process. | ||
|
||
|
||
If you need to change Neo4j password, see xref:kubernetes/operations/reset-password.adoc[]. | ||
|
||
For information on how to install and manage plugins, refer to the xref:kubernetes/plugins.adoc[]. | ||
