How to recycle and App Pool using Microsoft IIS Administration API

Question

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

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": [
            ]
        }
    },
}
