Rundeck – Speeding Up Even More the Cleaning Process

As I was running the script, I’ve noticed it ran very slow. I have left it for a few days to run (700K executions), I’ve noticed the speed increased linearly over time. As Rundeck has both DB and files to store its data, it looked to me that it was the file system which was […]

Delete Executions in Rundeck – Wrapping it all Up

Posted on October 9October 8 By laur

The previous posts have built the components to allow us to get projects, jobs, executions and remove executions from a Rundeck instance via its API. Now, we can just wrap them up :) The list of packages we need is:

import time
import datetime
import sys
import logging

import time

import datetime

import sys

import logging

For convenience, I’ve declared a bunch of constants we can use throughout the project: […]

Remove Executions in Rundeck

Posted on October 8 By laur

TL;DR: You have to get the executions’ list and remove the appropriate ones using hte API. Once we’ve managed to get the list of job executions, we can use the API to remove the relevant executions. The command is rather simple:

def deleteExecutions(server, port, api_key, execution_ids):
    url =  server +':'+port+'/api/12/executions/delete?ids=' + 
        ','.join(execution_ids)
    headers = {'Content-Length': '0', 'X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }
    requests.post(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

def deleteExecutions(server, port, api_key, execution_ids):

url = server +':'+port+'/api/12/executions/delete?ids=' +

','.join(execution_ids)

headers = {'Content-Length': '0', 'X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }

requests.post(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

This method requires: server – the Rundeck’s server address port – the port […]

Get Job Executions in Rundeck

Posted on October 2October 8 By laur

Following the previous articles, we are now in position to query job executions. The query is done via API as well. As a job can have an arbitrary number of executions, it’s advisable to use pagination. The code follows the same lines as the one in the previous entries:

# API call to get the list of the executions for a Job.
SIZE = 100
def getExecutionsForAJob(server, port, api_key, job_id, page=0, size=SIZE):
    url =  server +':'+port + \
        '/api/1/job/'+job_id + \
        '/executions?max='+('%d' % size) + \
        '&offset='+('%d' % (page * size))
    log.info(url)
    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json','X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False)
    return r.text.encode('utf-8')

# API call to get the list of the executions for a Job.

SIZE = 100

def getExecutionsForAJob(server, port, api_key, job_id, page=0, size=SIZE):

url = server +':'+port + \

'/api/1/job/'+job_id + \

'/executions?max='+('%d' % size) + \

'&offset='+('%d' % (page * size))

log.info(url)

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json','X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

return r.text.encode('utf-8')

This function builds the URL […]
