Tanul 1,281

I need to list all resource groups in a subscription by tag name.. Any suggestion please. Tried these

REST API
"https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/fe3346a9-d41b-43f6-9561-c93c2f191b2d/resourcegroups?$filter=tagValue eq default&api-version=2021-04-01"

Terraform Az api provider

resource "azapi_resource" "symbolicname" {
  type = "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups@2021-04-01"
  parent_id="/subscriptions/<id>"
  tags = {
    portfolio = "default"    
  }  
  schema_validation_enabled = false
}

@Tanul Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

We have tested this in our environment to filter the resource group list based on specific tag name using the above REST Api through az rest cmdlet. look like the cmdlet/REST API is ignoring $filter parameter even it is passed and that is the reason you are getting all the resource groups.

I would suggest you raise a GitHub issue here

Alternatively, you can use the below cmdlets to pull the list of resource groups which has a specific tag.

Get-AzResourceGroup | Where-Object {$_.Tags.Keys -eq "<TagName>"} | select -Property ResourceGroupName or az group list --tag <tagName>=<tagValue>

Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.

Hello,

You would want to use the following (Gets all the resource groups for a subscription by tag):

GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups?api-version=2021-04-01&$filter=tagname eq 'tagvalue'

Cited from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resource-groups/list

@Dillon Silzer Trust me tried 100 thousand times but returning everything. Whether has tags or not all resource groups are coming

az rest --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<id>/resourcegroups?api-version=2021-04-01&$filter=tagname eq 'name'"
