Connecting to a Cluster

This page describes the steps to connect to a TigerGraph cluster created by the TigerGraph Kubernetes Operator.

Kubernetes Operator is a Preview Feature.

Preview Features give users an early look at future production-level features. Preview Features should not be used for production deployments.

Establish an SSH connection to the cluster

To gain shell access to your cluster, run the following command:

$ kubrctl tg connect --cluster-name <cluster_name> --namespace <namespace_name>

Access GraphStudio

To access GraphStudio, make sure port 14240 on your cluster is accessible. Run the following command to retrieve the IP address of the GUI service. This is the service that powers GraphStudio.

$ kubectl get services --namespace <namespace_name>

In the output, under the external-IP column, you can find the external IP of the service. Visit port 14240 the IP to access GraphStudio.

Access REST endpoints

To access TigerGraph’s REST endpoints, make sure port 9000 on your cluster is accessible. Run the following command to retrieve the IP address of the REST external service.

$ kubectl get services --namespace <namespace_name>

In the output, under the external-IP column, you can find the external IP of the service. You can make HTTP requests to port 9000 of the IP address to access the REST endpoints.
