Portal Admin Machines REST

DeanHowell1

We need to be able to query the REST end point for the portal machines to determine the primary and standby machines but not sure what the syntax needs to be for accessing it outside the portal administrator.

The REST end point is https://admin.portal...../arcgis/portaladmin/machines?f=pjson  which works when I am in the portal admin but how do we add this to an external application with credentials / token?

ah gotcha,

So the initial query is to get the machine names:

https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/portaladmin/machines

then the status for each machine:

https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/portaladmin/machines/status/MACHINE.DOMAIN.COM?f=json

the token is generated with:

import requests


portalUrl = "https://domain/portal"
username = 'username'
password = "password"


def generateToken(username, password, portalUrl):
    # Retrieves a token to be used with API requests.
    headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
    parameters = {'username': username,
                  'password': password,
                  'client': 'referer',
                  'referer': portalUrl,
                  'expiration': 60,
                  'f': 'json'}
    url = portalUrl + '/sharing/rest/generateToken?'
    response = requests.post(url, data=parameters, headers=headers)

    try:
        jsonResponse = response.json()
        
        if 'token' in jsonResponse:
            return jsonResponse['token']
        elif 'error' in jsonResponse:
            print (jsonResponse['error']['message'])
            for detail in jsonResponse['error']['details']:
                print (detail)
    except ValueError:
        print('An unspecified error occurred.')
        print(ValueError)


        
token = generateToken(username, password, portalUrl)
print(token)
