Toggle Scheduler via API?

[TonyDeStefano]

Hi! When setting up an API Key, I see "Toggle Scheduler" as a privilege option. But I can't see anything in the docs or the code about how to perform this API call. We would really love to be able to toggle it off during our scale-up and scale-down events automatically. Can you point me in the right direction for that?

Thanks!
Tony

Should be /api/app/update_master_state
Request body should contain this json:

{ "enabled": true}

or false to disable

[TonyDeStefano]

Awesome, thank you!

[TonyDeStefano]

Can you point me to the section of code that handles this? We are having a hard time finding any reference to update_manager_state in the source. Thanks!

[mikeTWC1984]

Sorry, it's actually called update_master_state

Cronicle/lib/api/admin.js

Line 275 in cdf3a2e

api_update_master_state: function(args, callback) {

[TonyDeStefano]

There it is! Thanks again!

@jhuckaby @mikeTWC1984
looking for your help. Is there any API by which we can check whether the scheduler is enabled on disabled? Thanks in advance.

See get_master_state, available in v0.9.23.

[mikeTWC1984]

There is no specific api for that, but as a work around you can use login. It should return "app" object which would contain info abut state. E.g.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"admin", "password":"admin"}' http://localhost:3012/api/user/login | jq '.state'

But I agree this would be useful to have some "healthcheck" endpoint with such info.

Please don't use the user login API for this purpose, as it creates a new session every time.

I added new APIs in v0.9.23 to address this:

• get_master_state
• update_master_state (this API already existed, but I added docs for it).
