How to get notified via email when deployments history of resource groups counts exceeds 500?

Question

we noticed that resource group is limited to 800 deployments in its deployment history.

At the end we have question about Monitoring Part.

PowerShell Script to get list of Resource Group Name along with Deployment Name and Status of all Deployments for all resource group within a Subscription and export as CSV file.

 

# Login to your Azure account

# Set the subscription context

# Get all resource groups in the subscription

# Initialize an array to store successful and failed deployments

  # Get successful and failed deployments for each resource group

  # Add successful and failed deployments to the array

# Export successful and failed deployments to a CSV file

 

 

$resourceGroups = Get-AzResourceGroup

$deploymentsInfo = @()

 

foreach ($resourceGroup in $resourceGroups) {

    $failedDeployments = Get-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup.ResourceGroupName | Where-Object { $_.ProvisioningState -eq "Failed" }

    $successfulDeployments = Get-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup.ResourceGroupName | Where-Object { $_.ProvisioningState -eq "Succeeded" }

 

    foreach ($deployment in $failedDeployments) {

        $deploymentInfo = [PSCustomObject]@{

            ResourceGroupName = $resourceGroup.ResourceGroupName

            DeploymentName = $deployment.DeploymentName

            ProvisioningState = $deployment.ProvisioningState

            Status = "Failed"

        }

        $deploymentsInfo += $deploymentInfo

    }

 

    foreach ($deployment in $successfulDeployments) {

        $deploymentInfo = [PSCustomObject]@{

            ResourceGroupName = $resourceGroup.ResourceGroupName

            DeploymentName = $deployment.DeploymentName

            ProvisioningState = $deployment.ProvisioningState

            Status = "Successful"

        }

        $deploymentsInfo += $deploymentInfo

    }

}

 

$deploymentsInfo | Export-Csv -Path "AllDeployments.csv" -NoTypeInformation

@Shashikanth M S Thank you for posting this question in Microsoft Q&A and apologies for the delayed response.

You are on the right path using the script. At the moment there isn't a direct way to get this alerting enabled for generating alert when the deployment history of RG exceeds a threshold.

Thus, you may use this script in Azure Automation/logic Apps for it to be run on regular schedule.

You may include a logic in this script to send email from Azure Automation if the count of deployment history element is above certain threshold.

You may also suggest this as a feature idea using the following link to our Azure Monitor team for review - Azure Monitor

Hope this helps.
