output private ip of VM in azure ARM - azure

Question

I am spinning up more than one Azure VM using copyindex() in ARM template. Here is the resource I am using :
{
"apiVersion": "[variables('apiVersion')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",
"name": "[concat(parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'),copyIndex(1))]",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"copy": {
"name": "virtualMachineLoop",
"count": "[parameters('vmInstancesClientNode')]"
},
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', variables('storageAccountName'),copyindex(1))]",
"[concat('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/', parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'),copyindex(1),'-nic')]"
],
"properties": {
"hardwareProfile": {
"vmSize": "[parameters('vmSizeClientNode')]"
},
"osProfile": {
"computername": "[concat(parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'), copyIndex(1))]",
"adminUsername": "[parameters('username')]",
"adminPassword": "[parameters('password')]"
},
"storageProfile": {
"imageReference": {
"publisher": "[variables('imagePublisher')]",
"offer": "[variables('imageOffer')]",
"sku": "[variables('ubuntuOSVersion')]",
"version": "latest"
},
"osDisk": {
"name": "osdisk1",
"vhd": {
"uri": "[concat('http://',variables('storageAccountName'),copyindex(1),'.blob.core.windows.net/',variables('vmStorageAccountContainerName'),'/',parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'),copyIndex(1),'-osdisk1.vhd')]"
},
"caching": "ReadWrite",
"createOption": "FromImage"
},
"dataDisks": [
{
"name": "datadisk1",
"diskSizeGB": "10",
"lun": 0,
"vhd": {
"uri": "[concat(reference(concat('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', variables('storageAccountName'),copyindex(1)), variables('apiVersion')).primaryEndpoints.blob, variables('vmDataContainerName'),'/',parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'),copyIndex(1),'-',variables('dataDisk1VhdName'),'.vhd')]"
},
"createOption": "Empty"
}
]
},
"networkProfile": {
"networkInterfaces": [
{
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces',concat(parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'),copyindex(1),'-nic'))]"
}
]
}
}
},
I tried something like this, which isn't working
"outputs": {
"privateIP": {
"value": "[reference(concat(parameters('vmDnsPrefixClientNode'),copyindex(1),'-nic'),providers('Microsoft.Network', 'privateIPAddresses').apiVersions[0]).dnsSettings.fqdn]",
"type": "string",
"copy": {
"name": "vmNic",
"count": "[parameters('vmInstancesClientNode')]"
}
}
}
anyone knows how to get private IP or internal FQDN in output ?

Answer 1

I have used the following code in my template to get the private ip address from network interface.
"outputs":{
"networkInterface":{
"value": "[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces', parameters('networkInterfaceName')),'2016-09-01')]",
"type": "object"
}
}
Once you get the output, then you can find the IP address at
outputs.networkInterface.value.ipConfigurations[0].properties.privateIPAddress
and dns suffix at
outputs.networkInterface.value.dnsSettings.internalDomainNameSuffix
