Syntax

   [-AppliesTo <String>]
   [-Scope <ConfigScope>]
   [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
   [-CheckForUpgrade]
   [-DefaultSubscriptionForLogin]
   [-DisableErrorRecordsPersistence]
   [-DisableInstanceDiscovery]

   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Gets the configs of Azure PowerShell. By default it lists all the configs. You can filter the result using various parameters.

Note

Configs have priorities. Generally speaking, Process scope has higher priority than CurrentUser scope; a config that applies to a certain cmdlet has higher priority than that applies to a module, again higher than Az. To reduce confusion, the result of Get-AzConfig shows those configs that are taking effect. It is a combination of all the configs, but not literally all the configs. However, you could always view them by applying different filter parameters, such as -Scope.

Parameters

-AppliesTo

Specifies what part of Azure PowerShell the config applies to. Possible values are:

"Az": the config applies to all modules and cmdlets of Azure PowerShell.
Module name: the config applies to a certain module of Azure PowerShell. For example, "Az.Storage".
Cmdlet name: the config applies to a certain cmdlet of Azure PowerShell. For example, "Get-AzKeyVault". If not specified, when getting or clearing configs, it defaults to all the above; when updating, it defaults to "Az".

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False

-DisableInstanceDiscovery

Set it to true to disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached, such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority. By setting this to true, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy.
