Get a list of all Resources in my Azure Subscription (Powershell Preferably) - powershell

Question

I have an azure subscription and I'm trying to write a powershell script to automatically get a list of all the resources (VMs, Storage Accounts, Databases, etc) that I currently have in my subscription. Is there a way to do this using the azure management REST API or the Azure Cmdlets?

Answer 1

If you are using the new Resource Manager model (introduced in 2014) you can use the following PowerShell script.
Login-AzureRmAccount
Get-AzureRmResource | Export-Csv "c:\Azure Resources.csv"
To use the Resource Manager PowerShell commands you will need the AzureRM PowerShell module (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-azurerm-ps).
Install-Module AzureRM
For more information on the difference between Resource Manager and Classic models see, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-manager-deployment-model.
For users with multiple subscriptions:
If you want to output the contents of multiple subscriptions then you will need to call Select-AzureRmSubscription to switch to another subscription before calling Get-AzureRmResource.

I don't think there's just one function (or PS Cmdlet) to fetch all this information. However each of these can be fetched through both Windows Azure Service Management REST API as well as Window Azure PowerShell Cmdlets.
Windows Azure Service Management REST API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460799.aspx. For example, if you want to list storage accounts in your subscription, you would use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460787.aspx
Windows Azure PowerShell Cmdlets: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj554330.aspx. Again, if you want to list storage accounts in your subscription, you would use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn205168.aspx.

Answer 3

well,
You may update the version of your AzurePowershell and execute this command.
Get-AzureResource
In the output, You may check for "ResourceType".
It has the information about the type of resource creatd on azure.

Answer 4

Since you said PowerShell "preferably", I'm going to assume other options are still maybe useful? You can go to http://portal.azure.com, and click on the Menu icon (three horizontal lines), then All Resources. Then at the top of the page you can click Export to CSV and open that in Excel.
You have to take 30 seconds to do a little cleanup in Excel, but for what I'm trying to do right now, this was definitely the best & fastest solution. I hope it's useful to you (or someone else) too.

Adding to #Gaurav's answer (and related to your comment about SQL database enumeration): You can enumerate all of your databases, on a per-server basis, in a few easy steps.
First, enumerate all of the SQL Database servers in your subscription:
Then, for each server, create a connection context and enumerate the databases. Note that, with the Get-Credentials cmdlet, I was prompted to enter a username + password via a popup, which I don't show here. For demonstration purposes, I created a brand new server, with only a master database, to show what the output looks like:

This sample demonstrates how to automatically get a list of all the resources (VMs, Storage Accounts, Databases, App Services) and status via Powershell by certificate authentication.

I know it's already been answered however, I have found the Get-AzResource command easy to use and fetches all the resources from a particular subscription. Try using it with "ft" for clean text
Get-AzResource | ft
