Is there a REST command that implements the removeCompletedScrapeableSessions function?
I'm looking for a way to automate removing all Interrupted and completed Scraping Sessions.
There seems to be an internal server API call when one clicks on "Remove Completed Scraper Sessions" button.
POST parameter: "7|0|4|http://extractor1:8801/|9E4DB75A1455A717F46BFE9DCFFB0394|com.screenscraper.services.ScrapingSessionService|removeCompletedScrapeableSessions|1|2|3|4|0|"
Adding this POST parameter with a call to scrapeableFile.setRequestEntity does not seem to do the trick.
Using wget fails as well with an internal server error.
If not it would be a useful feature to add into the REST function calls.
Correct Just remove them
I would like a way to send my server instances a REST message to clear out the Interrupted and Completed sessions.
That way when I go to investigate a session via the GUI web interface I'll have a clean list of recently activated sessions.
Production process would follow steps similar to these:
1) Stop all server sessions.
2) Collect data output files.
3) Push session updates to all server DIR ./import/ directories
4) Start server instances.
5) Execute the removeCompletedScrapableSessions function by sending the REST command to each server.
6) Start up the next cycle of active server sessions.
7) Use Web GUI to investigate the running session state.
This way I see only the Completed or Interrupted sessions from the current production run.
(Plus the in process sessions of course.)
There is not an API call to
There is not an API call to do this now.
Could you make it a feature request?
I thought as much since I was not able to find it in the documentation.
Would you put this functionality on the feature enhancement list?
I know it may seem like a minor things to have but it would help when looking through hundreds of server connections.
Having to manually clear each server each week before starting up the next production run in a pain.
Not cleaning things up in the GUI makes for a mess and takes more time to sort through them to figure out which is the latest set of completions or interruptions.
We'll add this to the feature
We'll add this to the feature list. We've been pretty busy for a while though, so I can't offer an ETA.
If I understand, you don't
If I understand, you don't want to remove the sessions, but you do want to clear out completed logs, right?
