arcpy.Describe()

[AprilSummers]

How can we extract these properties from a feature class in an Enterprise GeoDatabase. I particularly want to extract the 'Instance' values

I am using arcpy.Describe(featureclass). It doesn't give me instance. I looked up the object properties and it is not listed in the documentation. 

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/functions/describe-object-properties.htm

I even used arcpy.da.Describe(featureclass). Still, couldn't get the value of instance. 

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Those are properties of the feature class' workspace rather than the feature class itself.  You'll want to do something like this:

• Get a Describe object for your feature class
• Use the workspace property to get a Describe object for the workspace (a database in this case)
• Access the properties of that object (see this page)

Thank you! That solved it. 

It's feels a bit convoluted. I must say though that the 'instance' in connection properties was not the same 'instance' in the data source properties screenshot. I had to use cp.database

cp.instance returned the value of 'Server'
