Not able to update Look back period using power shell script

Question

Hello Team ,

My requirement is to update "Look back period" value for a perticular subscription which is available in the "Advisor" tab in azure portal. I am able to update value for "LowCpuThreshold" using below command but need to update "Look back period". Can someone please help me here?

Set-AzAdvisorConfiguration -Exclude -LowCpuThreshold 20

Hi @MONDALABDULKADIR-7547 ,

Currently there is no direct way to update look back period using Az PowerShell cmdlet. If interested, you may raise a feature request in this feedback or ideas portal. In general, Azure feature or product team would check feasibility of a feature request, prioritize against existing feature backlog, add in roadmap as appropriate and would announce and/or update the related Azure document once a feature request is addressed.

Until then as a workaround, you may try to update look back period using "duration" property of this REST API or using Invoke-RestMethod PowerShell cmdlet which basically sends an HTTP or HTTPS request to a RESTful web service. Please find below sample code for illustration purpose. You may have to tweak it to work in your environment. Currently I am facing 404 error if I execute it, so I am reaching out to our internal product team to confirm the same and see if we have any other workarounds for this. Will keep you updated as I hear more information.

$subscriptionId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$resourceGroup = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$actionGroupName = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

$uri = "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$subscriptionId/providers/Microsoft.Advisor/configurations/default?api-version=2023-01-01"

$body = @{
    properties = @{
        lowCpuThreshold = "15"
        duration = "60"
        exclude = $true
	digests = @(
            @{
                name = "digestConfigName"
                actionGroupResourceId = "/subscriptions/subscriptionId/resourceGroups/$resourceGroup/providers/microsoft.insights/actionGroups/$actionGroupName"
                frequency = 30
                categories = @(
                    "HighAvailability",
                    "Security",
                    "Performance",
                    "Cost",
                    "OperationalExcellence"
                )
                language = "en"
                state = "Active"
            }
        )
    }
} | ConvertTo-Json

$auth = "eyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$authHeader = @{
'Content-Type'='application/json'
'Accept'='application/json'
'Authorization'= "Bearer $auth"
}

Invoke-RestMethod -Method PUT -Uri $uri -Body $body -Headers $authHeader
