agsadmin 0.3.2

ArcGIS Server REST Admin API Proxy

agsadmin provides a convenient Python front-end to several REST calls on the ArcGIS Server 10.1+ REST Admin API.

Features

• Map/Geoprocessing Services

  • start and stop

  • get statistics

  • get status

  • get or set the item info (description, summary, tags, etc.)

  • set service properties

• Machines

  • start and stop

• System

  • Directories

    • list directories

    • register new directories

    • unregister directories

    • clean directories

• Uploads

  • list uploads

  • get a specific upload item

  • upload a file

These functions can be used to automate management of ArcGIS Services (e.g. start/stop services on a schedule, start/stop services to perform maintenance on associated datasets, etc.)

Example

The following is a simplistic example to stop and start a map service.

import agsadmin

hostname = "<ServerNameHere>"
username = "<UsernameHere>"
password = "<PasswordHere>"

rest_admin = agsadmin.RestAdmin(hostname, username, password)
service = rest_admin.services.get_service("<MapServiceNameHere>", "MapServer", "<OptionalFolderHere>")
service.stop_service()
service.start_service()
service.delete()
