List Subscription Operations

  • Article

 

The List Subscription Operations operation returns a list of create, update, and delete operations that were performed on a subscription during the specified timeframe.

Request

The List Subscription Operations request may be specified as follows. Replace <subscription-id> with the subscription ID.

Method

Request URI

GET

https://management.core.windows.net/<subscription-id>/operations

URI Parameters

URI Parameter

Description

StartTime=<start-of-timeframe>

Required. The start of the timeframe to begin listing subscription operations in UTC format. This parameter and the EndTime parameter indicate the timeframe to retrieve subscription operations. This parameter cannot indicate a start date of more than 90 days in the past.

If you specify a time for this parameter, you must include the literal string “T” before the time, which indicates the start of the time element. Also, you must include the literal string “Z” after the time element, which indicates that the time is in UTC format. For example, a start time of March 1st, 2011 at 4:30PM would be expressed as follows: StartTime=2011-03-01T16:30:00Z

You can use the following time formats:

  • StartTime=[4DigitYear]-[2DigitMonth]-[2DigitDay]

    Example: StartTime=2011-03-01

  • StartTime=[4DigitYear]-[2DigitMonth]-[2DigitDay]T[2DigitHour]:[2DigitMinute]:2DigitSecond]Z

    Example: StartTime=2011-03-01T16:30:00Z

  • StartTime=[4DigitYear]-[2DigitMonth]-[2DigitDay]T[2DigitMinute]:[2DigitSecond].[7DigitsOfPrecision]Z

    Example: StartTime=2011-03-01T16:30:00.0005000Z

EndTime=<end-of-timeframe>

Required. The end of the timeframe to begin listing subscription operations in UTC format. This parameter and the StartTime parameter indicate the timeframe to retrieve subscription operations.

If you specify a time for this parameter, you must include the literal string “T” before the time, which indicates the start of the time element. Also, you must include the literal string “Z” after the time element, which indicates that the time is in UTC format. For example, an end time of March 7st, 2011 at 4:30PM would be expressed as follows: EndTime=2011-03-07T16:30:00Z

You can use the following time formats:

  • EndTime=[4DigitYear]-[2DigitMonth]-[2DigitDay]

    Example: EndTime=2011-03-07

  • EndTime=[4DigitYear]-[2DigitMonth]-[2DigitDay]T[2DigitHour]:[2DigitMinute]:2DigitSecond]Z

    Example: EndTime=2011-03-07T16:30:00Z

  • EndTime=[4DigitYear]-[2DigitMonth]-[2DigitDay]T[2DigitMinute]:[2DigitSecond].[7DigitsOfPrecision]Z

    Example: EndTime=2011-03-07T16:30:00.0005000Z

ObjectIdFilter=<object-url>

Optional. Returns subscription operations only for the specified object type and object ID. This parameter must be set equal to the URL value for performing an HTTP GET on the object. If no object is specified, a filter is not applied. Applicable object types and examples are included below. Replace sample values such as <subscription-id> with your own values.

Object Type

Object URL for Filter

Subscription

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>

Cloud Service

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/services/hostedservices/<cloud-service-name>

Storage Service

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/services/storageservices/<storage-service-name>

Affinity Group

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/affinitygroups/<affinity-group-name>

Deployment

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/services/hostedservices/<cloud-service-name>/deployments/<deployment-name>

Role Instance

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/services/hostedservices/<cloud-service-name>/deployments/<deployment-name>/roleinstances/<role-instance-name>

Machine Image

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/machineimages/<machine-image-name>

OperationResultFilter=<Succeeded|Failed|InProgress>

Optional. Returns subscription operations only for the specified result status, either Succeeded, Failed, or InProgress. This filter can be combined with the ObjectIdFilter to select subscription operations for an object with a specific result status. If no result status is specified, a filter is not applied. For example, the following request URI snippet returns all successful operations for a storage service:

ObjectIdFilter=/<subscription-id>/services/storageservices/<storage-service-name>&OperationResultFilter=Succeeded

ContinuationToken=<opaque-continuation-token>

Optional. When there are too many operations to list, such as when the requested timeframe is very large, the response includes an incomplete list and a token that can be used to return the rest of the list. Subsequent requests must include this parameter to continue listing operations from where the last response left off. If no token is specified, a filter is not applied and the response will begin at the specified StartTime.
