Tracking asynchronous operations using Azure CLI

  • Article

Some Azure CLI operations are asynchronous. To track the status of an asynchronous operation, the operationStatuses resource can be used. Asynchronous commands can be run with a --debug flag enabled. When --debug is specified, the progress of the request can be monitored. The operation status URL can be found by examining the Azure-AsyncOperation or Location header on the HTTP response to the creation request.

Using the value from before: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/.../providers/Microsoft.NetworkCloud/locations/EASTUS/operationStatuses/12312312-1231-1231-1231-123123123123*99399E995...?api-version=2022-12-12-preview, an Azure CLI az rest call can be issued to retrieve the operation status.

az rest -m get -u "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/.../providers/Microsoft.NetworkCloud/locations/EASTUS/operationStatuses/12312312-1231-1231-1231-123123123123*99399E995...?api-version=2022-12-12-preview"

This request will return an operation status result that can be requeried using the same command until the status reaches a final state of Succeeded or Failed. At this point, the requested operation has ceased.
