I need to replace a particular part of the "defaultValue" property in a ARM template file.
I have the following template.json for example:
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"workflows_something_company_upsert_name": {
"defaultValue": "something-company-upsert",
"type": "String"
},
"workflows_something_app_logging_externalid": {
"defaultValue": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/RessourceGroupXY/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/something-app-logging",
"type": "String"
},
"connections_commondataservice_1_externalid": {
"defaultValue": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/RessourceGroupXY/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections/commondataservice-1",
"type": "String"
},
"connections_sql_1_externalid": {
"defaultValue": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/RessourceGroupXY/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections/sql-1",
"type": "String"
}
},
"variables": {},
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Logic/workflows",
...
...
...
...
What I need to achieve is to change the value of "defaultValue":
"defaultValue": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/RessourceGroupXY/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/something-app-logging",
to this:
"defaultValue": "[concat(resourceGroup().id, '/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/something-app-logging')]",
Unfortunately I'm not the PowerShell crack so I hope somebody can give me advice which would be higly appreciated.
I managed to solve it by my own:
$jsonData = (Get-Content $file.FullName -Raw) -replace 0x10, (0x13,0x10)
$jsonData = $jsonData -replace '\s',''
$jsonData = [string]::join("",($jsonData.Split("`n")))
$jsonObject = $jsonData | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach($element in $jsonObject.parameters.PSObject.Properties) {
$found = $element.value.defaultValue -match '(\{){0,1}[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}(\}){0,1}'
if(!$found) {
continue
}
$workingString = $element.value.defaultValue
$startIndex = $workingString.IndexOf('/providers')
$endPath = $workingString.Substring($start, $workingString.Length - $length)
$element.Value.defaultValue = '[concat(resourceGroup().id, ' + $endPath + ')]'
}

Thanks to iRon earlier this week with his help via this question, he helped massively on a piece of work I have on the go at the moment.
In summary, we have an Azure CICD pipeline to deploy out Policies. we have a folder with over 200 JSON policy files and the CICD process brings them all together in 1 JSON file and deploy them out. The initial problem we found was the parameters required a leading extra "[" otherwise the process would fail. And this was highlighted in this article (if you search for [[).
Anyway, to the problem. iRons support helped greatly, but out of the 200 files we get a handful where we receive the following message:
Cannot bind argument to parameter 'FilterScript' because it is null.
The code:
Function supplied by iRon:
function Get-Node {
[CmdletBinding()][OutputType([Object[]])] param(
[ScriptBlock]$Where,
[Parameter(ValueFromPipeLine = $True, Mandatory = $True)]$InputObject,
[Int]$Depth = 10
)
process {
if ($_ -isnot [String] -and $Depth -gt 0) {
if ($_ -is [Collections.IDictionary]) {
if (& $Where) {$_}
$_.get_Values() | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth -1)
}
elseif ($_ -is [Collections.IEnumerable]) {
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $_.get_Count(); $i++) { $_[$i] | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth -1) }
}
elseif ($Nodes = $_.PSObject.Properties.Where{$_.MemberType -eq 'NoteProperty'}) {
$Nodes.ForEach{
if (& $Where) { $_ }
$_.Value | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth -1)
}
}
}
}
}
Where I call the above function (this code is in a loop per file):
$policyRule = #("notIn", "in", "value", "equals", "field", "effect", "like", "greaterOrEquals", "name", "resourceGroupName", "resourceGroup", "location", "storageName", "uniqueStorage", "storageContainerPath", "storageAccountAccessKey", "dependsOn", "targetResourceId", "storageId", "enabled")
if ($content.properties -ne $null){
# Loop all the Policy Rule names for fix the values within them
foreach ($rule in $policyRule){
$Node = $content.properties.policyRule | Get-Node -Where {$_.name -eq $rule -and $_.value -Match "^\[\w+" -and $_.value -ne ""}
$Node | ForEach-Object {$_.Value = '[' + $_.Value}
}
}
A JSON file that works:

As mentioned in my original post, my PowerShell is basic at best and any support would be grateful.
The JSON file whose processing fails contains null values, which turn into $null values in PowerShell when converting the JSON file to an object graph via ConvertFrom-Json.
The Get-Node function as shown in your question doesn't support binding $null to its pipeline-binding -InputObject parameter, which results in an error whenever $_.Value happens to be $null in the following statement:
$_.Value | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1)
The solution is simple: Allow the -InputObject parameter to accept $null, by adding the [AllowNull()] attribute to the original function:
function Get-Node {
[CmdletBinding()][OutputType([Object[]])] param(
[ScriptBlock]$Where,
[AllowNull()] # <- now $null may be passed too
[Parameter(ValueFromPipeLine = $True, Mandatory = $True)]$InputObject,
[Int]$Depth = 10
)
process {
if ($_ -isnot [String] -and $Depth -gt 0) {
if ($_ -is [Collections.IDictionary]) {
if (& $Where) { $_ }
$_.get_Values() | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1)
}
elseif ($_ -is [Collections.IEnumerable]) {
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $_.get_Count(); $i++) { $_[$i] | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1) }
}
elseif ($Nodes = $_.PSObject.Properties.Where{ $_.MemberType -eq 'NoteProperty' }) {
$Nodes.ForEach{
if (& $Where) { $_ }
$_.Value | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1)
}
}
}
}
}
In our Azure CICD Pipeline, we have an element where we are trying to deploy Policies. We have JSON file per policy in the repo and we bring all these json files together into one file as part of CI which later is deployed via the CD. The PowerShell wasn't written by me, but a Microsoft consultant who was on site a few years back.
The problem is that when all the JSON comes together, we get an illegal syntax e.g.
Altering the code to this works and deploys, but means we have to go through all our files manually replace [ with [[:
In summary the PowerShell bring all of this together, does some manipulation and outputs to a file in the artifacts folder.
This is just a small snippet of the json, but highlights the area and there are many areas like this in the total json that need replacing:
{
"functions": [
],
"variables": {
"location": "UK South"
},
"resources": [{
"properties": {
"displayName": "Allowed Locations for Resources",
"policyType": "Custom",
"mode": "Indexed",
"description": "description.",
"metadata": {
"version": "1.0.0",
"category": "General"
},
"parameters": {
"listOfAllowedLocations": {
"type": "Array",
"metadata": {
"description": "The list of locations that can be specified when deploying resources.",
"strongType": "location",
"displayName": "Allowed locations"
},
"allowedValues": [
"uksouth",
"ukwest"
],
"defaultValue": [
"uksouth",
"ukwest"
]
}
},
"policyRule": {
"if": {
"allOf": [{
"field": "location",
"notIn": "[parameters('listOfAllowedLocations')]"
},
{
"field": "location",
"notEquals": "global"
},
{
"field": "type",
"notEquals": "Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups"
},
{
"field": "type",
"notEquals": "Microsoft.Resources/b2cDirectories"
}
]
},
"then": {
"effect": "audit"
}
}
},
"name": "Policy1",
"apiVersion": "2019-01-01",
"type": "Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions",
"location": "[variables('location')]"
}]
}
My PowerShell is intro level at best, so I am struggling to get a replace working.
I can obtain the offending area and replace it in a Write-Host, but I don't know how to write the back to the originating object with without making a right mess of things:
if ($content.properties.policyRule.if.allOf -ne $null){
foreach ($param in $content.properties.policyRule.if.allOf){
Write-Host "were here..................."
#$param = ($param | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100 | % { [System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Unescape($_) })
if ($param.notIn -ne $null){
$param.notIn.replace('[', '[[')
Write-Host $param.notIn
}
}
Any suggestions would be grateful.
The point is that the allOf node contains an array. Due to the member-access enumeration feature you will be able to conveniently read the notIn property but to write to it, you will need to be specific on the index ([0]) in the allOf node:
$Data = ConvertFrom-Json $Json # $Json contains your $Json snippet
$Data.resources.properties.policyRule.if.allOf[0].notIn = "[[parameters('listOfAllowedLocations')]"
$Data |ConvertTo-Json -Depth 9
In case you want to recursively find your items based on e.g. a specific name and value format from a specific property level, you might use this common reusable function to recursively find (and replace) a node in a complex PowerShell object:
function Get-Node {
[CmdletBinding()][OutputType([Object[]])] param(
[ScriptBlock]$Where,
[AllowNull()][Parameter(ValueFromPipeLine = $True, Mandatory = $True)]$InputObject,
[Int]$Depth = 10
)
process {
if ($_ -isnot [String] -and $Depth -gt 0) {
if ($_ -is [Collections.IDictionary]) {
if (& $Where) { $_ }
$_.get_Values() | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1)
}
elseif ($_ -is [Collections.IEnumerable]) {
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $_.get_Count(); $i++) { $_[$i] | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1) }
}
elseif ($Nodes = $_.PSObject.Properties.Where{ $_.MemberType -eq 'NoteProperty' }) {
$Nodes.ForEach{
if (& $Where) { $_ }
$_.Value | Get-Node -Where $Where -Depth ($Depth - 1)
}
}
}
}
}
Usage
Finding node(s) with a specific name and value (-format):
$Node = $Data.resources.properties.policyRule.if |Get-Node -Where {
$_.name -eq 'notIn' -and $_.value -Match "^\[\w+\('\w+'\)\]$"
}
$Node
Value : [parameters('listOfAllowedLocations')]
MemberType : NoteProperty
IsSettable : True
IsGettable : True
TypeNameOfValue : System.String
Name : notIn
IsInstance : True
Replacing the value of the found node(s):
$Node |ForEach-Object {
$_.Value = '[' + $_.Value
}
$Data |ConvertTo-Json -Depth 9

Update 2022-11-21
Resolved an issue with $Null values in the Get-Node function, see also: PowerShell FilterScript error with some JSON Files (thanks
mklement0).
In this Question i want to accomplish is that i am trying to delete a specific object in the json file.
But while doing so i am experiencing some difficulties i tried to refer article Iterate over JSON and remove JSON element in PowerShell
and implement the same but however it is deleting the entire element but i want to delete a specific object in the element not the entire element following are the required things
1. json file

following is the tried code again this is that i have referred from Iterate over JSON and remove JSON element in PowerShell
2. tried code
$inputFile = '<THE FULL PATH AND FILENAME TO YOUR JSON FILE>'
$outputFile = '<THE FULL PATH AND FILENAME FOR THE OUTPUT JSON FILE>'
$apijson = Get-Content -Path $inputFile -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
# for safety, first make a copy of the original .paths object
$newPaths = $apijson.paths
foreach ($element in $newPaths.PSObject.Properties) {
$objName = $element.Name
$objValue = $element.Value
$objProperties = $objValue.PSObject.Properties
foreach ($prop in $objProperties) {
if ($prop.Value.'from' -eq 'Jharkhand') {
$propName = $prop.Name
$objProperties.Remove($propName)
Write-Host "Removed object $objName -- $propName"
}
}
}
# now overwrite the $apijson.paths with this cleaned up version
$apijson.paths = $newPaths
# I assume you want to convert it back to a .JSON file??
$apijson | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100 | Set-Content -Path $outputFile -Force
i want to delete the object where "from" is equal to "../Jharkhand/"

if anyone could help that would be really helpful
".paths" property does not belong to you json file, so removed this part of your script.
# for safety, first make a copy of the original .paths object
$newPaths = $apijson.paths
Try this code:
$inputFile = 'input.json'
$outputFile = 'output.json'
$apijson = Get-Content -Path $inputFile -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach ($element in $apijson.PSObject.Properties) {
$objName = $element.Name
$objValue = $element.Value
$objProperties = $objValue.PSObject.Properties
foreach ($prop in $objProperties) {
# Your object lies in this array
if ($prop.Name -eq 'DeatilsOfJourney') {
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$arr = $prop.Value
#Iterate over your array and find that object which you want to remove
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $arr.count; $i++) {
if ($arr[$i].'from' -eq '../Jharkhand')
{
$arr.RemoveAt($i)
$i--
}
}
$prop.Value = $arr

As evident, $dataDiskVHDURI is of type:array and I am trying to deploy the template using -TemplateParameterObject with New-AzureRMresourceGroupDeployment cmdlet in Powershell using the following code:
{
$vmWithDDTemplate = 'azuredeploy.json'
$vmWithoutDDTemplate = 'azuredeploy-withoutdd.json'
$dataDiskVhdUri = New-Object -TypeName System.Collections.ArrayList
$dataDiskVhdUri.Add("$VM.dataDiskVhduri")
#Creating VM param object
$VMTemplateObject = #{"projectname" = $projectName; `
"environmentname" = $environmentName; `
"vmResourceGroupName" = $vmResourceGroupName; `
"vmName" = $VM.vmName; `
"vmIPAddress" = $VM.vmIPAddress; `
"osDiskVhdUri" = $VM.osDiskVhdUri; `
"dataDiskVhdUri" = ,$dataDiskVhdUri; `
"vmSize" = $VM.vmSize; `
"osType" = $VM.osType; `
"ManagedDisk" = $VM.ManagedDisk
}
#$VMTemplateObject
# Checking if VM contains a data disk
if($VM.dataDiskVhdUri -ne $null)
{
Write Output "$VM contains data disk"
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -Name ('vmwithdd' + '-' + ((Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()).ToString('MMdd-HHmm')) `
-ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName `

-TemplateFile $vmWithDDTemplate `
-Force -Verbose -ErrorVariable ErrorMessages `
-ErrorAction Stop -DefaultProfile $azureCred
}
else
{
Write-output '$VM does not contain data disk'
}
}
However, I get the following error every time:
Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Error : 4:46:14 PM - Error:
Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation failed:

Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Not sure, but maybe feeding it with an ArrayList object wrapped in an array by use of the preceeding , is not what it wants. If i lookup examples, i see only single values added there like "dataDiskVhdUri" = $VM.dataDiskVhduri;
Try this:

I am creating DocumentDB Account using ARM Template. Now want to get the Account Key once DocumentDB Account is created.
I know we can get these details from https://portal.azure.com but I want a command which will give context ( ex. with Get-AzureStorageAccountKey command we get key for storage account)
$ScriptPath = split-path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$ResourceGroupName = "ResGrp"
$Location = "South Central US"
$DocDBAccountName = "testdocdbaccount"
$TemplateFilePath = "DocumentDBJson\DocumentDB.json"
$ParameterFilePath = "DocumentDBJson\DocumentDB.param.dev.json"
$PSOutputFolder= "$ScriptPath\PowerShellOutput"
$NewParameterFilePath = $ParameterFilePath.Replace(".json",".Deploy.json")
(Get-Content "$ParameterFilePath") | Foreach-object {
$_ -replace '\$Location\$', $Location `
-replace '\$DocDBAccountName\$', $DocDBAccountName
} |Set-Content "$NewParameterFilePath" -Force
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -Name $DocDBAccountName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Mode Complete -Force -TemplateFile "$ScriptPath\$TemplateFilePath" -location $Location -TemplateParameterFile "$NewParameterFilePath" | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File "$PSOutputFolder\DocumentDB_$DocDBAccountName.json"
$DocDBFile = "$PSOutputFolder\DocumentDB_$DocumentDbAccount.json"
$docdbjson = Get-Content $DocDBFile | Out-String | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach ($v in $docdbjson.Outputs.keys.Value.Replace('" "','"|"').Split("|"))
{
if($v -match "primaryMasterKey")
{
$DocumentDbKey= ($v.Split(":")[-1]).Replace('"','')
}
}
