Azure CLI query JMESPATH more then one expression - azure

I'm trying to list all unmanaged disks in a specific resource group in my account inside Azure cloud provider that not have a specific tag, but having issues with the query part.
The command above lists all unmanaged disks:
az disk list -g $rgName --query [?managedBy=='null'].name -o tsv
When writing the command above, I'm not getting any output (although I have unmanaged disks that don't have tags.Action equals to 'ToDelete':
az disk list -g $rgName --query "[?(managedBy=='null') && (tags.Action!='ToDelete')].name" -o tsv
Thank you for the help :)

I believe the issue is because you are comparing against the string 'null' instead of null. This will cause you to recieve an empty array [] as the result.
This works for me:
az disk list -g $rgName --query "[?(managedBy==null) && (tags.Action!='ToDelete')].name"

Log Analytics workspace - Alerts to list

Alerts can be listed like that with az cli like that
$activities = az monitor activity-log list -g $ResourceGroup
which produces in PowerShell a string but is a list of JSON's.
Any one knows why $activities is not a PSCustomObject which I could use ?
I do agree with #Mathias R. Jessen that
az is an executable and executables return strings, not objects
$activities = az monitor activity-log list -g "Resourcegroup"
$res=$activities | ConvertFrom-Json
$res
Output:
Now you can use Dot Operator as below:

How to get family of azure VM via VM size az cli

I am looking to get the name of the VM family of a specific VM type via the az cli.
Sample input:
Standard_D16ds_v4
Sample output:
Standard DDSv4 Family vCPUs
Is this possible to do either via az cli or azure RM?
You can use this one,
az vm show -g 'YourResourceGroupName' -n 'VMName' --query 'hardwareProfile.vmSize' -o tsv
You can use the list-skus subcommand to find this:
$ az vm list-skus --size Standard_D16ds_v4 --query [].family
[
"standardDDSv4Family"
]

show size of existing vm size in azure cli

How can you find the size of an existing VM using the Azure CLI? I can see how to find what sizes are available, or what sizes a VM can be resized to, but not simply what the existing size is. You'd think that might be one of the details in az vm show --show-details but it's not.
In the screenshot in my comment, I use the command.
az vm show -g '<resource group name>' -n '<VM name>' -d
You could use --query 'hardwareProfile.vmSize' to get the vmSize directly.
az vm show -g '<resource group name>' -n '<VM name>' --query 'hardwareProfile.vmSize' -o tsv
Just as additional info, when using
az vm show -g <resourcegroupname> -n <vmname>
you can see which info is available to access.
For the VMSize you would notice in the responsetree:
JSONResponse
Which you can then access by using the query posted by Joy Wang.

How to query VMs in Azure powerstate using tags

I have a script that deallocates all VMs in the subscription based on the tags assigned - off hours and start them back up the next day using Jenkins. I want to be able to query these VMs based on the state (Running/Stopped(deallocated) and output it to a file.
Startup command - az vm start --ids $(az resource list --tag Restart=${TAG_RESTART} --query "[?type=='Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'].id" -o table)
Query command -
az resource list --tag Restart=yes --query "[].{Name:name,Group:resourceGroup,Location:location}" -o table
This command returns output (Name, RG and location). I want it to also show the powerstate and possibly OS type once the restart script is complete. If it is also possible to export the output to a spreadsheet.
You could use az vm show -d --ids to get powershell state.
Sorry, I don't have a Mac VM. On Linux VM, I use the following command to get it.
az vm show -d --ids $(az resource list --tag Restart=shui --query "[?type=='Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'].id"|jq -r ".[]") --query 'powerState'
On Mac, maybe you could use the following command.
az vm show -d --ids $(az resource list --tag Restart=${TAG_RESTART} --query "[?type=='Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'].id" -o table) --query 'powerState'
You could get help by using az vm show -h
--show-details -d : Show public ip address, FQDN, and power states. command will run slow.

Azure CLI how to check if a resource exists

I'm starting to write a bash script to provision a VM in a new or existing resource group so that we can enforce naming convention and configuration.
In a bash script how can I check that a resource already exists so I don't try to create it again?
# 1. If a new resource group is desired, create it now. Microsoft Docs
az group create --name $RESOURCEGROUPNAME --location $LOCATION
# 2. Create a virtual network and subnet if one has not already been created. Microsoft Docs
# Consider a separate VNet for each resource group.
# az network vnet list -output table
az network vnet create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--name $RESOURCEGROUPNAME-vnet \
--address-prefix 10.0.x.0/24 \
--subnet-name default \
--subnet-prefix 10.0.x.0/24
# x is the next available 3rd octet value
# 3. Create a public IP Address. Microsoft Docs
az network public-ip create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--name $VMNAME-ip \
--dns-name $DNSNAME
# 4. Create a network security group. Microsoft Docs
az network nsg create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--name $VMNAME-nsg
# 5. Create a rule to allow SSH to the machine. Microsoft Docs
az network nsg rule create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--nsg-name $VMNAME-nsg \
--name allow-ssh \
--protocol tcp \
--priority 1000 \
--destination-port-range 22 \
--access allow
# 6. Create a virtual NIC. Microsoft Docs
az network nic create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--name $VMNAME-nic \
--vnet-name $RESOURCEGROUPNAME-vnet \
--subnet default \
--public-ip-address $VMNAME-ip \
--network-security-group $VMNAME-nsg
# 7. Create an availability set, if redundancy is required. Microsoft Docs
az vm availability-set create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--name $AVSETNAME-as
# 8. Create the VM. Microsoft Docs
az vm create \
--resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME \
--location $LOCATION \
--name $VMNAME \
--image UbuntuLTS \
--size $VMSIZE \
--availability-set $AVSETNAME-as \
--nics $VMNAME-nic \
--admin-username $ADMINUSERNAME \
--authentication-type ssh
--ssh-key-value #$SSHPUBLICKEYFILE \
--os-disk-name $VMNAME-osdisk
This should work in bash script:
if [ $(az group exists --name $RESOURCEGROUPNAME) = false ]; then
az group create --name $RESOURCEGROUPNAME --location $LOCATION
fi
In a bash script how can I check that a resource already exists so I
don't try to create it again?
We can use CLI 2.0 command az group exists to test the resource group exist or not, like this:
C:\Users\user>az group exists -n jasontest
false
In this way, before we create it, we can test the name available or not. In new resource group, we can create new Vnet and other resources.
For now, there is no CLI 2.0 command to test other resource exist or not. If you want to create resource in an existing resource group, maybe we should use CLI 2.0 command to list the resources, and use bash to make sure the resource exist or not.
You can use JMESPath queries to do this. All resource types support this, AFAIK.
For example, for VMs:
az vm list --resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME --query "[?name=='$VMNAME'] | length(#)"
This will output the number of matching VMs - either 1 or 0.
You can use this to create if/else logic in bash as follows.
if [[ $(az vm list --resource-group $RESOURCEGROUPNAME --query "[?name=='$VMNAME'] | length(#)") > 0 ]]
then
echo "VM exists"
else
echo "VM doesn't exist"
fi
If a resource show command returns an empty string and a success status code (0), then the resource does not exist.
Edit: ChrisWue pointed out that this is no longer true. It must have changed since I left the Azure CLI team (it used to be a requirement that all commands worked like this). Or it may be that there is a bug for the key vault commands he mentioned below.
this work for my batch commands
call az webapp show --subscription <yoursubs> --resource-group <yourrg> --name <yourappname> -query name
if %errorlevel% == 1 (
az webapp create ...
)
As mentioned in another answer - there is no generic "exists" command. One line of reasoning I've found was that "create" is meant to be idem potent - therefor if you have a script that creates resources (for example as part of a build pipeline) it doesn't matter how often you execute it since "it will do the right thing".
If you still need to do this you can do it in shell like this (the example is for keyvault but it should work for all resource types that have a show command)
if az keyvault show -n my-keyvault -o none; then
echo "keyvault exists"
else
echo "keyvault doesn't exist"
fi
It should be noted that az will output an error message to stderr if the resource doesn't exists - this doesn't affect the check but if it bothers you then you can redirect stderr to /dev/null
In our case we needed this because we don't run the infra scripts if the setup hasn't changed (cuts our build time in half). We dectect this by creating a hash of the infra-scripts and store it in a keyvault. When the script runs it creates the keyvault (to make sure it exists) and then tries to check the secret that contains the hash. If the hash is still the same then don't run the rest of the script.
Catch is that keyvault create nukes the access policies which also includes the web-app managed identity access policy which won't get added if the rest of the script doesn't run ... so the fix is to check if the keyvault exists first and to not create it if it does.
