How to exclude a VM from a StartStopV2 logic app

Question

Good day,

I have 5 Azure VMs running. I also have a StartStopV2 Logic app that automatically switches these 5 VMs on at a specified date and time. I wish to exclude 1 VM from this logic app, but I don't see a solution for this.

@Cameron Blackwell Thanks for reaching out. You can exclude the vms by modifying Function-Try action. In the designer pane, select Function-Try to configure the target settings.This example also demonstrates excluding a virtual machine. You can exclude the VM by specifying the VMs resource path or by wildcard.

  "EnableClassic": false,
