The following code uses Stingray's RESTful API to delete a pool. The code is written in Ruby. This program deletes the "rbtest" pool created by the addpool.rb example. To delete a resource you do a HTTP DELETE on the URI for the resource. If the delete is successful a 204 HTTP status code will be returned.
deletepool.rb
require 'rest_client'
require 'base64'
require 'json'
poolName = 'rbtest'
url = 'https://stingray.example.com:9070/api/tm/1.0/config/active/pools/' + poolName
auth = 'Basic ' + Base64.encode64('admin:admin')
begin
# Try to delete the pool. If it exists and is deleted we will get a 204. If it doesn't
# exist we will get a 404, which will causue a resource.not_found exception
response = RestClient.delete(url, {:authorization => auth})
if response.code == 204
puts "Pool #{poolName} deleted"
else
puts "Bad status code #{response.code} when deleting pool"
end
rescue => e
# If a 404 is returned then e.response will be a json object, otherwise it may not be
if defined?(e.response)
error = JSON.parse(e.response)
if error['error_id'] == 'resource.not_found'
puts "Pool #{poolName} not found"
else
puts "Error: URL=#{url} Error: #{e.message}"
end
else
puts "Error: URL=#{url} Error: #{e.message}"
end
end
