# Stop and Start a Tenant

The following provides instructions for stopping and starting specific tenants. A use case would be if you want to re-index a single tenant.

* To stop or start a tenant using the API, use the following commands:

  * Stop: **`/account/stop/`*****`<acc_name>`***
  * Start: Use the Post command with the following body:

    ```screen
    {
        "name": "<acc_name>"
    }
    ```

  To view the REST API documentation, select Settings → INTEGRATIONS → API Keys → **View Cortex XSOAR API**.
* To start of stop a tenant in the UI:

  * Click the cogwheel next to the tenant.
  * To stop the tenant, click Stop.
  * To start the tenant, click Start.

  Additional arguments can be passed to the tenant via the CLI upon start. This allows you to [reindex the entire database](/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.13/configure-multi-tenant/configure-the-multi-tenant-deployment/reindex-a-tenant-database.md) or a [specific index database](/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.13/configure-multi-tenant/configure-the-multi-tenant-deployment/reindex-a-specific-index-for-a-tenant.md), or to run other processes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.13/configure-multi-tenant/configure-the-multi-tenant-deployment/stop-and-start-a-tenant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
