Understanding Opensolr Resources & Upgrades

The Opensolr service runs on a set of resources that determine how you use and scale your search capabilities: Solr Indexes, Disk Space, Search Traffic Bandwidth, (optionally Clusters)

🚦 Core Resources

• Indexes
  Standalone Opensolr indexes located in various regions worldwide.

• Clusters
  Resilient clusters of servers that function as a unified Opensolr index, with added benefits as described here.

• Disk Space
  The storage used by each of your Opensolr indexes or clusters.

• Bandwidth
  The outgoing data traffic from Opensolr to your site or app.

⏫ When Should You Upgrade Your Plan?

You’ll typically need to upgrade your plan when:

• Your Free Trial is over.
• You’ve run out of any one of the above resources (disk, bandwidth, indexes, or clusters).

📈 Example: Out of Disk Space

Suppose you have 1 Opensolr index and it runs out of disk space.
Here’s how to check and upgrade, step by step:

1. Check your index disk space consumption:

   1. Go to your Opensolr Control Panel - Index List.
   2. Click your index name:
      
   3. Check the disk space in your Opensolr Index Control Panel:
      
   4. Click Solr Admin to get the latest disk usage:
      
      
   5. Visit the Pricing Page (also available via the top navigation or the Billing section in your Index Control Panel):
      
      
   6. You’ll see a set of pre-defined packages.
      However, you can always customize your package to fit your needs:
      
      Move on to the customization area, where you can select more disk space, bandwidth, indexes, clusters, or any other resource:
      

2. Need to upgrade another resource?
   The process is the same—simply choose more of what you need (indexes, bandwidth, clusters, etc.).
   All upgrades and downgrades are pro-rated, so you only pay for what you use. 💡
