MicrosoftAzureConsumptionInsights Resource Group Tags

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to retrieve all of the 'Resource Group' tags, instead of those of the Azure resources.

 

Any thoughts anyone?

 

Many thanks for the assist.

Hi Jurgen,

 

Can these two methods help? Please refer to power-bi/service-connect-to-azure-consumption-insights and power-bi/desktop-connect-azure-consumption-insights.

Hi,

 

First of all thank you for your reply.

 

However this doesn't work, as it only provides me the "Tags" of my "Resources", and not the "Resource Groups" :-(...

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,

 

We have three options in the two links of my last post. Please refer to desktop-connect-azure-consumption-insights#using-the-azure-consumption-and-insights-aci-api-to-get-c...

You can get data using API. For example, rest/api/billing/enterprise/billing-enterprise-api-usage-detail.

This is definitely the way to get consumption insights data (including Resource Tags)... but does not seem to provide any way to get at the tags of the respective parent Resource Groups.

 

I'm guessing that @Jurgen wants this so that he (like me) won't need to go through his Azure resources and apply tags to all of them just so that the Resource tags match the Resource Group tags.

Hi, i have the same use-case. Did you manage to include the Resource Groups as lines in the usage details? I'm also looking for a way to report in Power BI on Azure tags on Resource Groups, not individual resources...

I have the same question.  Has anyone found a solution?

Here's what I do ...

 

Weekly, I run a powershell script that dumps all our custom RG tags into a text file full of SQL statements.  I then run this to bulk load all our tags into an Azure SQL DB.

 

In Power BI, this DB table is joined up with the consumption data to be able to show RG tags.

 

 

#  Do this before running this script:
#  Login-AzureRmAccount

$todaysDate = Get-Date -UFormat '+%Y-%m-%d'
$results = @{}

$subscriptions=Get-AzureRMSubscription

Clear-Content c:\temp\AzureRGTags_SQLInsert_$todaysDate.sql

Add-Content c:\temp\AzureRGTags_SQLInsert_$todaysDate.sql "DELETE FROM AzureResourceGroupHistoricalPLTags WHERE DateReported = '$todaysDate';"

foreach ($vsub in $subscriptions) { 

	Select-AzureRmSubscription $vsub.SubscriptionID
	$rgs = (Get-AzureRmResourceGroup)

	foreach ($rg in $rgs) { 
		
		$ResourceGroupName=$rg.ResourceGroupName
		$SubscriptionId=$vsub.SubscriptionID
		$DateReported=$todaysDate
		$SubscriptionName=$vsub.Name
			
		if ($rg.tags -ne $null) {
			$pldepartment = $rg.tags.pldepartment
			$plclient = $rg.tags.plclient
			$plregion = $rg.tags.plregion
			$plenvironment = $rg.tags.plenvironment
			$plproduct = $rg.tags.plproduct
			$pldonotinherit = $rg.tags.pldonotinherit
			$plowner = $rg.tags.plowner
			if ($rg.tags.pldescription -ne $null) {$pldescription = $rg.tags.pldescription.Replace("'","")} else {$pldescription = 'notag'}
		} else {
			$pldepartment = ''
			$plclient = ''
			$plregion = ''
			$plenvironment = ''
			$plproduct = ''
			$pldonotinherit = ''
			$plowner = ''
			$pldescription = ''
		}
		
		Add-Content c:\temp\AzureRGTags_SQLInsert_$todaysDate.sql "INSERT INTO AzureResourceGroupHistoricalPLTags (ResourceGroupName,SubscriptionId,DateReported,SubscriptionName,pldepartment,plclient,plregion,plenvironment,plproduct,pldonotinherit,plowner,pldescription) VALUES ('$ResourceGroupName','$SubscriptionId','$DateReported','$SubscriptionName','$pldepartment','$plclient','$plregion','$plenvironment','$plproduct','$pldonotinherit','$plowner','$pldescription')"

	}
}
