az iot hub device-twin list

List device twins in an IoT Hub.

This command is the same as iot hub query with the query "select * from devices" for all devices and "select * from devices where capabilities.iotEdge = true" for edge devices.

az iot hub device-twin list [--auth-type {key, login}]
                            [--edge-enabled {false, true}]
                            [--hub-name]
                            [--login]
                            [--resource-group]
                            [--top]

Optional Parameters

--auth-type

Indicates whether the operation should auto-derive a policy key or use the current Azure AD session. If the authentication type is login and the resource hostname is provided, resource lookup will be skipped unless needed.You can configure the default using az configure --defaults iothub-data-auth-type={auth-type-value}.

Accepted values: key, login
Default value: key
--edge-enabled --ee

Flag indicating edge enablement.

Accepted values: false, true
Default value: False
--hub-name -n

IoT Hub name or hostname. Required if --login is not provided.

--login -l

This command supports an entity connection string with rights to perform action. Use to avoid session login via "az login". If both an entity connection string and name are provided the connection string takes priority. Required if --hub-name is not provided.

--resource-group -g

Name of resource group. You can configure the default group using az configure --defaults group=<name>.

--top

Maximum number of elements to return. Use -1 for unlimited.

Default value: 1000
