WLST capture the output of state('ms1') to a variable

Question

I need to capture the output of the below to a variable. I know we can get to serverRuntime or domainRuntime() trees and get the state. But need to get the below working.

wls:/owb/serverConfig> state('Server1')
Current state of 'Server1' : RUNNING

I tried two ways:

wls:/owb/serverConfig> print state('Server1')
Current state of 'Server1' : RUNNING
None

wls:/owb/serverConfig> x=state('Server1')
Current state of 'Server1' : RUNNING

wls:/owb/serverConfig> print x
None

Answer 1

You have to use the getState() method of server runtime mbean. You can obtain the server runtime mbean by navigating into wlst runtime tree or by using a lookup method.

Sample:

domainRuntime()
slrBean = cmo.lookupServerLifeCycleRuntime('Server1')
status = slrBean.getState()
print 'Status of Managed Server is '+status
