I'm trying to enumerate VMs of Azure for a certain Resource Group. On some tenants the SDK returns part of the VMs with zeroed fields (like computerName() == 'null').
Code sample:
var azureResourceManager = AzureResourceManager.authenticate(tokenCredential, azureProfile).withSubscription("subscription");
azureResourceManager.resourceGroups().list().forEach(resourceGroup -> {
azureResourceManager.virtualMachines().listByResourceGroup(resourceGroup.name()).forEach(vm -> {
var computerName = vm.computerName();
if (computerName == null) {
// VM lost
return;
}
// VM is OK
});
});
On a certain tenant I see ~30% of VMs have no computerName(), but the Azure Portal presents every VM the same proper way. About 70 VMs are lost from a total of 250.
On a different account with a smaller number of VMs there is no such issue.
It could be due to the issues with syncing data from the underlying system which leads to missing fields. Also, possible that VMs are stopped or deallocated which makes the properties temporarily unavailable.
Check the VM's power state and provisioning state using Azure SDK.
I have tried with below code and able to list VMs.
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import com.azure.core.credential.TokenCredential;
import com.azure.core.management.AzureEnvironment;
import com.azure.core.management.profile.AzureProfile;
import com.azure.identity.ClientSecretCredentialBuilder;
import com.azure.resourcemanager.AzureResourceManager;
@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
private static final String clientId = "<Client_ID>";
private static final String tenantId = "<Tenant_ID>";
private static final String clientSecret = "<Client_Secret>";
private static final String subscriptionId = "<Subscription_ID>";
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
@Override
@GetMapping("/")
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
TokenCredential tokenCredential = new ClientSecretCredentialBuilder()
.clientId(clientId)
.tenantId(tenantId)
.clientSecret(clientSecret)
.build();
AzureProfile azureProfile = new AzureProfile(tenantId, subscriptionId, AzureEnvironment.AZURE);
AzureResourceManager azureResourceManager = AzureResourceManager
.authenticate(tokenCredential, azureProfile)
.withSubscription(subscriptionId);
azureResourceManager.resourceGroups().list().forEach(resourceGroup -> {
System.out.println("Resource Group: " + resourceGroup.name());
azureResourceManager.virtualMachines().listByResourceGroup(resourceGroup.name()).forEach(vm -> {
String computerName = vm.computerName();
if (computerName == null) {
System.out.println("VM " + vm.name() + " is lost (computer name is null).");
} else {
System.out.println("VM " + vm.name() + " is operational with computer name: " + computerName);
}
});
});
}
}
Output:
