Manage database tags

Tags label a cluster so you can group, filter, and account for database resources alongside the rest of your cloud estate. You assign them from the cluster list, choosing from tags that already exist in the Tagging service.

Tagging is a cluster-level operation. Whatever you assign or remove applies to the cluster and to every node inside it, in one action.

note

Individual nodes cannot be tagged on their own. Node tags always follow the cluster, so there is no way to give one node a tag its siblings do not have.

Prerequisites​

  • Permission to manage the database cluster.
  • A cluster that finished provisioning.
  • The tags you want to assign, already created in the Tagging service. See Create a tag.

Open the Manage tags dialog​

  1. From the main menu, select Database Platform → All Database.
  2. Find the cluster, then click the ⋮ (More actions) icon in the Action column.
  3. Select Manage tags.

Manage tags dialog showing the read-only cluster ID and the tag selection field

The dialog holds two fields.

FieldWhat it does
Cluster IDThe cluster you are tagging. Read-only.
TagsThe tags assigned to the cluster. Select one or more existing tags, or clear ones you want to remove.

Assign or remove tags​

Both directions use the same dialog, and both take effect the moment the change succeeds.

  1. Open the Manage tags dialog as above.
  2. Click the Tags field, then select the tags to assign or clear the ones to remove.
  3. Click Save. To back out instead, click Cancel, which closes the dialog without changing anything.

Your changes apply to the cluster and propagate to every node in it. Only tags that already exist in the Tagging service appear in the field, so create a tag there first if the one you want is missing.
