Get Azure VM Boot Diagnostics and filter some string to print out to the console using powershell.

I have used the below script using parameters :

param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$vm,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$resourcegroup,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$storageaccountname,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$localpath
)

$vm = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -Name $vm
Set-AzureRmVMBootDiagnostics -VM $VM -Enable -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -StorageAccountName $storageaccountname
Set-AzureRmVMBootDiagnostics -VM $VM -Enable -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -StorageAccountName $storageaccountname |Update-AzurermVM

Get-AzureRmVMBootDiagnosticsData -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -Name $vm -Windows -LocalPath $localpath

Output is getting error :

cmdlet Task3.1.ps1 at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
vm: azbootvm
resourcegroup: AzRg
storageaccountname: mystacc
localpath: c:\folder

    First of all I would recommend to use Az instead of AzureRM because AzureRM is outdated.
    https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/powershell/azure/migrate-from-azurerm-to-az?view=azps-5.2.0

    I would start with getting the Azure ResourceGroup object: 

    ...  
$resourcegroup = Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourcegroup  
$vm = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -Name $vm  
...

    It could be helpful for troubleshooting to output both variables just to see if objects are found (later you can delete the output again): 

    $resourcegroup = Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourcegroup  
$resourcegroup  
$vm = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -Name $vm  
$vm

    Check the output of $vm which type it is with $vm.GetType() . The type needs to be Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Compute.Models.PSVirtualMachine
