I need a powershell script/CLI/API that can calculate the running (upkeep) time of all the VMs (Windows & Linux) running on my Azure subscription

So, I have about six VMs (4 Linux & 2 Windows) running in an Azure subscription. I need to know how long the VMs have been running. How do I achieve this using a PowerShell/CLI/API?

Solution

  • Use Get-UsageAggregates in Az.billing Powershell module to get the running time of your VMs in a period of time:

    Connect-AzAccount

$vmsUsage = (Get-UsageAggregates -ReportedStartTime "<start time>" -ReportedEndTime "<endtime>" -ShowDetails $true).UsageAggregations | Where-Object {$_.Properties.MeterCategory -eq  'Virtual Machines'}  

foreach($usage in $vmsUsage){
  echo $usage.Properties
}

    Result : enter image description here
