I am looking for a way to check the virtual network gateway connection state using PS. Based on the MS article that should be pretty simple, using command: Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection -Name $ConnectionName -ResourceGroupName $RGName However, this solution does not work. Command Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection returns some connection information but does not return the state. The field 'ConnectionStatus' is always blank. Tried on more than 10 tenants. Tried on connected and disconnected connections.

Hi @Oleg Tserkovnyuk I tried to reproduce your issue with Powershell in Azure Cloud Shell and I am not able to repo the issue. As you can see, I am able to see the ConnectionStatus as "Unknown" and not blank. Can you check the same using Azure Cloud Shell? What is Azure Cloud Shell : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/overview Please make sure Azure Powershell Modules are up to date if you are using it in Windows device. Cheers, Kapil

Hi @KapilAnanth-MSFT, Thanks for your help. I use az.network module 7.3.0. I run my code from windows device. Connection status is blank. Azure Cloud Shell will not be helpful in this case, since I need PS script.

Hi @Oleg Tserkovnyuk,

I shall check the version az.network module 7.3.0 and let you know.

Meanwhile, can you please share the status from the Portal?

Does it have a value or it is Empty as well?

Cheers,

Kapil

Hi @Oleg Tserkovnyuk,

I am not able to repo your issue.

I tried both connected and non-connected scenarios and here is the results.

I even tried to print the entire Connection Object and I can see the results:

Next Steps:

Please uninstall and reinstall the Az PS Module

Try it with a different device and share the results.

Cheers,

Kapil

Hi @Oleg Tserkovnyuk ,

I think I found the issue.

When I run Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection to get a Connection Object Array, the ConnectionStatus is empty

The same happens for “Shared Key” also

However, if I just get one Connection Object (by specifying the -Name parameter), the ConnectionStatus is non-empty

I have informed this behavior to the concerned Product Teams and they are checking on this.

Meanwhile, what you can do is, run a for each loop across all the Connections to get the status (or any other property).

$Connections=Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection -ResourceGroupName <RGName> foreach ($Connection in $Connections) { $ConnectionObject=Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection -Name $Connection.Name -ResourceGroupName $Connection.ResourceGroupName Write-Host $ConnectionObject.Name Write-Host $ConnectionObject.ConnectionStatus }

Thanks for your continued contribution on Q&A and appreciate much for taking the time to share your feedback.
