Azure command line tools survey guidance

When using Azure PowerShell, you may be invited to participate in a survey to tell us about your experience. By responding to the survey, you help to identify common issues and areas for improvement. Understanding your experiences and opinions helps to make future releases of Azure command line tools better for you and others.

What data is collected

The survey collects anonymized feedback about your satisfaction with Azure command line tools and doesn't collect any private or personal data.

While we appreciate the insights this data provides, we understand not everyone wants to be prompted to complete a survey. You can disable being prompted to participate in surveys with the Update-AzConfig cmdlet or via an environment variable.

Disable the survey

In the following example, the Update-AzConfig cmdlet is used to disable the survey message.

Update-AzConfig -DisplaySurveyMessage $false

You can also use the $Env:AzSurveyMessage environment variable to disable the survey message.

Set-Item -Path Env:\AzSurveyMessage -Value $false

Compatibility with third-party tools

The survey message is displayed using PowerShell's information stream to prevent it from altering the returned object-based output. Although we've made every effort to ensure the survey doesn't impact your experience, there are some scenarios where the survey may affect the usage of third-party tools such as Ansible. If you experience issues, we recommend that you disable the survey in those scenarios.
