Get specific tags/values from Get-AzResourceGroup

Question

Hi

I'm trying (without much luck) to get the values of tags for a specific Azure Resource Group (RG) using Get-AzResourceGroup. At present this is on my laptop using VSCode, however when it is working it will be run from Azure automation / Runbooks. My RG has multiple tags, however the tagI need to check the value for is called "Environment".

This is what I have so far.

# Connect-AzAccount   

Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "###"   
  
$rgs = Get-AzResourceGroup -Name "###"    
  
foreach ($Tag in $rgs.Tags)  
{  
    foreach ($Key in $Tag.Keys)  
    {  
          
        if ($key -eq "environment")  
        {  
            $Key   
            $Key.Length  
            $Tag.Keys  
        }  
    }  
}  

This works insofar as I can filter $key="environment", however I do not know how to get the corresponding value which in this case would be "PROD"

If there's a better way to achieve this then please let me know.

Thanks

Hi @Dave Gray ,

maybe this helps:

$rgName = "xyz"  
$envName = "Environment"  
$envValue = "PROD"  
$tags = Get-AzTag -ResourceId (Get-AzResourceGroup -Name "$rgName").ResourceId  
$value = $tags.Properties.TagsProperty.$envName  
# Just some magic  
if ($value) {  
    if ($value -eq $envValue) {  
        Write-Host "Value $($value.ToUpper()) found in Tag $($envName.ToUpper()) :-)"  
    }  
    else {  
        Write-Output "Value $($envValue.ToUpper()) not found in Tag $($envName.ToUpper()) : Current value is $($value.ToUpper())"  
    }  
}  
else {  
    Write-Output "Tag with name $($envName.ToUpper()) not found"  
}

Here is a one line version:

(Get-AzResourceGroup).tags.foreach({ $_.Environment})
