pySCOrchestrator 0.0.2

A simple client for calling System Center Orchestrator runbooks in python

This module is forked from https://github.com/oznu/pyHyperV due to the original being readonly and me wanting somewhere changes could be pushed for maintaining this for use for some backwards compatibility.

Simple client for calling System Center Orchestrator runbooks in python.

• Installation

• Import & Initialize pySCOrchestrator

• Execute Runbook

  • Using Parameter IDs

  • Using Parameter Names

  • Response

• Get Runbooks

• Get Runbook Parameters

• Get Job Status

• Get Job Instance ID

• Get Instance Parameters

Installation

Using pip:

$ pip install pySCOrchestrator

Import & Initialize pySCOrchestrator

import pySCOrchestrator

orchestratorEndpoint = "http://hostname.local:81/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc"
username = "domain\\username"
password = "password"

o = pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator(orchestratorEndpoint, username, password)

Execute Runbook

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.Execute(runbookID, runbookParameters, dictionary=False)

You can send the parameters to orchestrator using the parameter ID or the parameter name.

Using Parameter IDs

Example of sending using the parameter ID:

runbookID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

runbookParameters = {
    'f90e6468-31d3-4aa8-9d50-f8bf5bf689e2' : 'value',
    'edb8d27d-38ad-4d29-a255-30d8360a3852' : 'value',
    'b61abea1-4001-42fd-99b5-470acc5c1386' : 'value',
    '32725695-0b25-47e0-abbe-b28e22eca8ad' : 'value',
}

o.Execute(runbookID, runbookParameters)

Using Parameter Names

To send a request using the parameter names indead of the IDs, add the dictionary=True flag. The parameter names must match the names for each parameter in orchestrator.

Example:

runbookID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

runbookParameters = {
    'HDD'  : '50gb',
    'CPU'  : '2',
    'RAM'  : '2048',
    'OS'   : 'Server2012',
}

o.Execute(runbookID, runbookParameters, dictionary=True)

Response

Successfully initiating a runbook execution will return a 201 status code, along with the orchestrator job ID. The job ID returned can be used to check the status of the job using the GetJobStatus function.

Example Response:

{
'status' : 201,
    'result': {
        'id'               : '3c87fd6c-69f5-41c9-bd55-ec2aa6ec7c64',
        'status'           : 'pending',
        'CreationTime'     : '2014-04-02T12:11:05.617',
        'LastModifiedTime' : '2014-04-02T12:19:08.963',
        }
}

Get Runbooks

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetRunbooks()
pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetRunbookID(runbookName)

Returns a list of runbooks and their IDs from orchestrator.

Example:

o.GetRunbooks()

{
'status' : 200,
'result' : {
    'Runbook_1' : 'e5944fe0-b600-45d2-a872-0c256594e394'
    'Runbook_2' : 'fd6d6a4b-1e57-40a3-930a-f4eb56394d3f'
    'Runbook_3' : '31451e20-5829-4323-9661-603ff826c852'
    }
}

It is also possible to return a single runbook ID by it’s name:

o.GetRunbookID('Runbook_1')

'e5944fe0-b600-45d2-a872-0c256594e394'

Get Runbook Parameters

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetParameters(runbookID)

This function returns the parameter names and paramater IDs required by the runbook specified.

Example:

runbookID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

o.GetParameters(runbookID)

Example Response:

{
'status' : 200,
  'result': {
    'HDD' : 'f90e6468-31d3-4aa8-9d50-f8bf5bf689e2',
    'CPU' : 'edb8d27d-38ad-4d29-a255-30d8360a3852',
    'RAM' : 'b61abea1-4001-42fd-99b5-470acc5c1386',
    'OS'  : '32725695-0b25-47e0-abbe-b28e22eca8ad',
    }
}

Get Job Status

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetJobStatus(jobID)

This function allows you to check the status of an orchestrator job/task.

Example:

jobID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

o.GetParameters(jobID)

Example Response:

{
'status' : 200,
    'result': {
        'id'               : '3c87fd6c-69f5-41c9-bd55-ec2aa6ec7c64',
        'status'           : 'Complete',
        'CreationTime'     : '2014-04-02T12:11:05.617',
        'LastModifiedTime' : '2014-04-02T12:19:08.963',
        }
}

Get Job Instance ID

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetJobInstance(jobID)

Returns the job instance ID. This ID can then be used in other functions such as GetInstanceParameters.

Example:

jobID = '3c87fd6c-69f5-41c9-bd55-ec2aa6ec7c64'

o.GetJobInstance(jobID)

'f4ac97ed-495b-44ae-b547-64611b0d8075'

Get Instance Parameters

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetInstanceParameters(instanceID)

Returns the instance parameters from orchestrator. This function can be used to get data returned from orchestrator.

Example:

instanceID = 'f4ac97ed-495b-44ae-b547-64611b0d8075'

o.GetInstanceParameters(instanceID)

{
'status' : 200,
'result' : {
    'HDD'   : '50gb',
    'CPU'   : '2',
    'RAM'   : '2048',
    'OS'    : 'Server2012',
    'VM_ID' : 'edb8d27d-38ad-4d29-a255-30d8360a3852',
    'VM_IP' : '127.0.0.1',
    }
}
