Is there a way to see the services properties of a arc server (federated with portal) using ArcGIS Python API 1.5.2? I am using python 3 for the same.

I want to have a list of the services own by a specific owner and want to delete those Is there any way I can achieve that through python.

I was successfully able to access the services but is there any way to check their running instances , whether they are getting utilized or not, if not can we delete them?

I don't have access this morning to any federated GIS servers, so I can't test any code to respond to the first part of your question, but I will comment on:

whether they are getting utilized or not, if not can we delete them?

When you check whether a service is running, that only answers the question of whether a service is getting utilized at or shortly before you checked it. It is common for services, especially lower-usage ones, to have the minimum number of running instances set to zero. If you check and a service isn't running, it really doesn't give you any information beyond was someone using that service at or shortly before you checked.

Monitoring utilization is much more involved than just checking whether a service is running once, it is about looking at information over time, and that is why Esri created ArcGIS Monitor.

Thanks for the Information Joshua,

What about deleting it?

I am able to access the service but the delete command is not working on them

The item is of type service, and I am getting the below error:

AttributeError: 'Item' object has no attribute '_user_id'

What happens if you pass the dry_run argument to the delete method, same error?

Hi Joshua, while trying this it is giving the error that dry_run cannot be identified.

layer_item.delete(dry_run=True)

this is giving me the same error :

type error: 'Item' object has no attribute '_user_id'

I can replicate the issue using our internal, federated GIS servers. It really looks to be a defect to me, I would open a case with Esri Support. I tried a couple of workarounds, but I keep getting the same error.

Thanks Joshua, please let me know if you find any other workaround for this.

Like you can't really delete the services on the federated servers in the portal web interface, you can't delete a service using the GIS module in the ArcGIS Python API, Because, GIS module is the equivalent to your Web GIS (Portal or AGOL).

To delete a service, you mean manage the ArcGIS server, you need the following python modules:

arcgis.gis.server module — arcgis 1.5.2 documentation

arcgis.gis.admin module — arcgis 1.5.2 documentation

I did a quick test in my environment, and it seems working fine:

from arcgis.gis.server import Server

# this is NOT your portal url, it's your server admin url
gis_server = Server(url="https://your_server_name:6443/arcgis/admin",username="site admin name",password="admin password")

service_manager = gis_server.services

# list the services in the test folder, make sure you see the service your want to delete
test_services = service_manager.list(folder="test")
print(test_services)

# for example, it's the 3rd item in the list
test = test_services[2]

# this will work, and return "True"
test.delete()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Please reference the aforementioned document to find the detailed the syntax for the construction of the Server instance

Hope it helps

Thanks Simo xu,
but I am getting error

AttributeError: 'Server' object has no attribute 'services'

I even checked for the other objects, it is giving the same error for machines also.

I just logged it: #BUG-000119786 Using the ArcGIS API for Python to delete an item in Portal for ArcGIS returns an error. It appears to work fine with ArcGIS API for Python 1.5.1 but not in 1.5.2. My guess is that is has something to do with the new user types introduced in AGOL and being introduced in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7. I am asking Esri Support to test 1.5.2 against 10.7 pre-release to see if that combination works.

Hi Simo Xu, Now it worked for me, it's just that I am giving an extra / after admin now its working fine for me.

Hi Vaibhav, Glad to know it works. If you agree that this is the solution, can you please mark it as the correct answer so it can help people with the same questions.
