Dear MS

I have successfully stopped and started App Pools using Microsoft IIS Administration API.

I am struggling to find a way to recycle an App Pool, would you be able to advise?

Kind regards

Andrew

    Hi,

    There seems no endpoint for recycle. But there's a workaround.

    You can use 'Patch' at the application pool endpoint (/api/webserver/application-pools/{id}) with a recycling schedule

    {
        "recycling": {
            "periodic_restart": {
                "schedule": [
                    "21:38:45"
                ]
            }
        },
    }
    

    The time format is 24hours hh:mm:ss of current day. After recycled, you can clear the schedule with empty value.

    {
        "recycling": {
            "periodic_restart": {
                "schedule": [
                ]
            }
        },
    }
