Logic apps : Azure Resource Manager Connector - how to specify $expand parameter

Question

I am trying to get VM information in a resource group by using "List resources by resource group (Preview)" action.

Logic Apps parameters

Filter: "resourcetype eq 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'"

Expand: "HardwareProfile"

Filter parameter seems working since it returns VMs, however, Expand parameter does not work. it does not return any hardware profile of VMs.
How should I specify Expand parameter to retrieve hardware profile like VM size?
Is there any reference manual of $expand parameter?

Hi @芹沢 基樹

As per the document of Resources - List By Resource Group I don't see $expand parameter accepting the value as 'HardwareProfile'.
$expand accepts Comma-separated list of additional properties to be included in the response. Valid values include createdTime, changedTime and provisioningState.
For example, $expand=createdTime,changedTime.

I do see another API Resources-Get By ID where you provide the resource ID details and it returns the resource details including the hardware profile details.

"hardwareProfile": {
"vmSize": "Standard_B1s"
}

You can use the Read a resource action in your logic app providing the detail:
Short Resource ID will be virtualMachines/yourVirtualMachineName

Logic App Input/Response:

You can modify the above according to your needs rather than hardcoding the values.

Please let me know if you have any queries or concerns.
