Starter Resource Graph query samples

  • Artikel

The first step to understanding queries with Azure Resource Graph is a basic understanding of the Query Language. If you aren't already familiar with Kusto Query Language (KQL), it's recommended to review the KQL tutorial to understand how to compose requests for the resources you're looking for.

This article uses the following starter queries:

If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.

Language support

Azure CLI (through an extension) and Azure PowerShell (through a module) support Azure Resource Graph. Before running any of the following queries, check that your environment is ready. See Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell for steps to install and validate your shell environment of choice.

Count Azure resources

This query returns number of Azure resources that exist in the subscriptions that you have access to. It's also a good query to validate your shell of choice has the appropriate Azure Resource Graph components installed and in working order.

Resources
| summarize count()

By default, Azure CLI queries all accessible subscriptions but you can specify the --subscriptions parameter to query specific subscriptions.

az graph query -q "Resources | summarize count()"

This example uses a variable for the subscription ID.

subid=$(az account show --query id --output tsv)
az graph query -q "Resources | summarize count()" --subscriptions $subid

You can also query by the scopes for management group and tenant. Replace <managementGroupId> and <tenantId> with your values.

az graph query -q "Resources | summarize count()" --management-groups '<managementGroupId>'

az graph query -q "Resources | summarize count()" --management-groups '<tenantId>'

You can also use a variable for the tenant ID.

tenantid=$(az account show --query tenantId --output tsv)
az graph query -q "Resources | summarize count()" --management-groups $tenantid

Count Key Vault resources

This query uses count instead of summarize to count the number of records returned. Only key vaults are included in the count.

Resources
| where type =~ 'microsoft.keyvault/vaults'
| count

az graph query -q "Resources | where type =~ 'microsoft.keyvault/vaults' | count"

List resources sorted by name

This query returns any type of resource, but only the name, type, and location properties. It uses order by to sort the properties by the name property in ascending (asc) order.

Resources
| project name, type, location
| order by name asc

az graph query -q "Resources | project name, type, location | order by name asc"

Show all virtual machines ordered by name in descending order

To list only virtual machines (which are type Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines), we can match the property type in the results. Similar to the previous query, desc changes the order by to be descending. The =~ in the type match tells Resource Graph to be case insensitive.

Resources
| project name, location, type
| where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'
| order by name desc

az graph query -q "Resources | project name, location, type| where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines' | order by name desc"

Show first five virtual machines by name and their OS type

This query uses top to only retrieve five matching records that are ordered by name. The type of the Azure resource is Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines. project tells Azure Resource Graph which properties to include.

Resources
| where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'
| project name, properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType
| top 5 by name desc

az graph query -q "Resources | where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines' | project name, properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType | top 5 by name desc"

Count virtual machines by OS type

Building on the previous query, we're still limiting by Azure resources of type Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines, but are no longer limiting the number of records returned. Instead, we used summarize and count() to define how to group and aggregate the values by property, which in this example is properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType. For an example of how this string looks in the full object, see explore resources - virtual machine discovery.

Resources
| where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'
| summarize count() by tostring(properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType)

az graph query -q "Resources | where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines' | summarize count() by tostring(properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType)"

A different way to write the same query is to extend a property and give it a temporary name for use within the query, in this case os. os is then used by summarize and count() as in the previous example.

Resources
| where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines'
| extend os = properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType
| summarize count() by tostring(os)

az graph query -q "Resources | where type =~ 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines' | extend os = properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType | summarize count() by tostring(os)"

Note

Be aware that while =~ allows case insensitive matching, use of properties (such as properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType) in the query require the case to be correct. If the property is the incorrect case, a null or incorrect value is returned and the grouping or summarization would be incorrect.

Show resources that contain storage

Instead of explicitly defining the type to match, this example query finds any Azure resource that contains the word storage.

Resources
| where type contains 'storage' | distinct type

az graph query -q "Resources | where type contains 'storage' | distinct type"

List all Azure virtual network subnets

This query returns a list of Azure virtual networks (VNets) including subnet names and address prefixes. Thanks to Saul Dolgin for the contribution.

Resources
| where type == 'microsoft.network/virtualnetworks'
| extend subnets = properties.subnets
| mv-expand subnets
| project name, subnets.name, subnets.properties.addressPrefix, location, resourceGroup, subscriptionId

az graph query -q "Resources | where type == 'microsoft.network/virtualnetworks' | extend subnets = properties.subnets | mv-expand subnets | project name, subnets.name, subnets.properties.addressPrefix, location, resourceGroup, subscriptionId"

List all public IP addresses

Similar to the previous query, find everything that is a type with the word publicIPAddresses. This query expands on that pattern to only include results where properties.ipAddress isnotempty, to only return the properties.ipAddress, and to limit the results by the top 100. You may need to escape the quotes depending on your chosen shell.

Resources
| where type contains 'publicIPAddresses' and isnotempty(properties.ipAddress)
| project properties.ipAddress
| limit 100

az graph query -q "Resources | where type contains 'publicIPAddresses' and isnotempty(properties.ipAddress) | project properties.ipAddress | limit 100"

Count resources that have IP addresses configured by subscription

Using the previous example query and adding summarize and count(), we can get a list by subscription of resources with configured IP addresses.

Resources
| where type contains 'publicIPAddresses' and isnotempty(properties.ipAddress)
| summarize count () by subscriptionId

az graph query -q "Resources | where type contains 'publicIPAddresses' and isnotempty(properties.ipAddress) | summarize count () by subscriptionId"

List resources with a specific tag value

We can limit the results by properties other than the Azure resource type, such as a tag. In this example, we're filtering for Azure resources with a tag name of Environment that have a value of Internal.

Resources
| where tags.environment=~'internal'
| project name

az graph query -q "Resources | where tags.environment=~'internal' | project name"

To also provide what tags the resource has and their values, add the property tags to the project keyword.

Resources
| where tags.environment=~'internal'
| project name, tags

az graph query -q "Resources | where tags.environment=~'internal' | project name, tags"

List all storage accounts with specific tag value

Combine the filter functionality of the previous example and filter Azure resource type by type property. This query also limits our search for specific types of Azure resources with a specific tag name and value.

Resources
| where type =~ 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts'
| where tags['tag with a space']=='Custom value'

az graph query -q "Resources | where type =~ 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts' | where tags['tag with a space']=='Custom value'"

Note

This example uses == for matching instead of the =~ conditional. == is a case sensitive match.

List all tags and their values

This query lists tags on management groups, subscriptions, and resources along with their values. The query first limits to resources where tags isnotempty(), limits the included fields by only including tags in the project, and mvexpand and extend to get the paired data from the property bag. It then uses union to combine the results from ResourceContainers to the same results from Resources, giving broad coverage to which tags are fetched. Last, it limits the results to distinct paired data and excludes system-hidden tags.

ResourceContainers
| where isnotempty(tags)
| project tags
| mvexpand tags
| extend tagKey = tostring(bag_keys(tags)[0])
| extend tagValue = tostring(tags[tagKey])
| union (
    resources
    | where isnotempty(tags)
    | project tags
    | mvexpand tags
    | extend tagKey = tostring(bag_keys(tags)[0])
    | extend tagValue = tostring(tags[tagKey])
)
| distinct tagKey, tagValue
| where tagKey !startswith "hidden-"

az graph query -q "ResourceContainers | where isnotempty(tags) | project tags | mvexpand tags | extend tagKey = tostring(bag_keys(tags)[0]) | extend tagValue = tostring(tags[tagKey]) | union (resources | where notempty(tags) | project tags | mvexpand tags | extend tagKey = tostring(bag_keys(tags)[0]) | extend tagValue = tostring(tags[tagKey]) ) | distinct tagKey, tagValue | where tagKey !startswith "hidden-""

Show unassociated network security groups

This query returns Network Security Groups (NSGs) that aren't associated to a network interface or subnet.

Resources
| where type =~ "microsoft.network/networksecuritygroups" and isnull(properties.networkInterfaces) and isnull(properties.subnets)
| project name, resourceGroup
| sort by name asc

az graph query -q "Resources | where type =~ 'microsoft.network/networksecuritygroups' and isnull(properties.networkInterfaces) and isnull(properties.subnets) | project name, resourceGroup | sort by name asc"

List Azure Monitor alerts ordered by severity

alertsmanagementresources  
| where type =~ 'microsoft.alertsmanagement/alerts'   
| where todatetime(properties.essentials.startDateTime) >= ago(2h) and todatetime(properties.essentials.startDateTime) < now()  
| project Severity = tostring(properties.essentials.severity) 
| summarize AlertsCount = count() by Severity

List Azure Monitor alerts ordered by severity and alert state

alertsmanagementresources
| where type =~ 'microsoft.alertsmanagement/alerts'   
| where todatetime(properties.essentials.startDateTime) >= ago(2h) and todatetime(properties.essentials.startDateTime) < now()  
| project Severity = tostring(properties.essentials.severity), 
    AlertState= tostring(properties.essentials.alertState) 
| summarize AlertsCount = count() by Severity, AlertState

List Azure Monitor alerts ordered by severity, monitor service, and target resource type

alertsmanagementresources  
| where type =~ 'microsoft.alertsmanagement/alerts'   
| where todatetime(properties.essentials.startDateTime) >= ago(2h) and todatetime(properties.essentials.startDateTime) < now()  
| project Severity = tostring(properties.essentials.severity),  
MonitorCondition = tostring(properties.essentials.monitorCondition),  
ObjectState = tostring(properties.essentials.alertState),  
MonitorService = tostring(properties.essentials.monitorService),  
AlertRuleId = tostring(properties.essentials.alertRule),  
SignalType = tostring(properties.essentials.signalType),  
TargetResource = tostring(properties.essentials.targetResourceName), 
TargetResourceType = tostring(properties.essentials.targetResourceName), id 
| summarize AlertsCount = count() by Severity, MonitorService , TargetResourceType
