how can I send email using the azure cli?

David Broggy 5,986 MVP

Plan A:
I would like to run some powershell commands using the Azure cli and then send the output to an email.
Is that possible? If so, what are the steps in an example?

Plan B:
How do I send Azure cli output to a Log Analytics Workspace?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can run PowerShell commands and store those output on a variable and then you can send an email.

To send email, you can check this doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/send-mailmessage?view=powershell-7.2

thanks @msrini-MSFT
I see there's a catch, you need access to a SMTP server which won't be part of Azure unless you set it up yourself.
i.e no easy option for this.
I was hoping email could be redirected to your outlook tenant like it can in a logic app.
