Connection

We’re overhauling Dgraph’s docs to make them clearer and more approachable. If you notice any issues during this transition or have suggestions, please let us know.

Recent servers

This section provides a list of recent connected clusters. You can select any item on the list to connect.

The list also has an icon which indicates the version of the cluster running:

• Green icon: Running the latest version.
• Yellow icon: Running a specific version.
• Red icon: No connection found.
• Delete icon: Remove the address form the list.

URL Input box

In this box you add a valid Dgraph Alpha address. When you click Connect Ratel establishes a connection with the cluster. After Ratel has established a connection (all icons are green), click the Continue button.

Under the input box you have tree icons which gives you the status of the connection.

• Network Access: Uses an “Energy Plug” icon.
• Server Health: Uses a “Heart” icon.
• Logging in: a “lock” icon.

To connect to a standard Dgraph instance, you only need to click Connect. There’s a specific section to login using ACL (Enterprise feature).

Cluster settings

ACL account

The ACL account login is necessary only when you have ACL features enabled.

The default password for a cluster started from scratch is password and the user is groot.

Dgraph Zero

If you use a custom address for Zero instance, you should inform here.

Extra settings

Query timeout (seconds): this is a timeout for queries and mutations. If the operation takes too long, it is dropped after x seconds in the cluster.
