Azure Resource Inventory

Azure Resource inventory (ARI) is a powerful powershell module that generates an Excel report of any Azure Environment you have read access.

This project is intend to help Cloud Admins and anyone that might need an easy and fast way to build a full Excel Report of an Azure Environment.


What's new ?


  • Version 3.5 is here:
    • ARI Powershell Module
    • New Automation Account
    • Azure Rest API

Azure Resource Inventory Overview



Network Topology View



  • An extra detail is that if you hover the mouse cursor over any resource in the Network Topology you get the resource details:


  • This feature is available for any resource and even peering lines:



Organization View



Resources View



Version 3.5


Among the many improvements, there are two that will considerable change the way we use the script and type of data we are reporting:


1) Azure Resource Inventory (Powershell Module)


We expect this change will positively change the experience of installing and executing ARI:


Installing ARI:

Install-Module -Name AzureResourceInventory


Now to run the script just execute "Invoke-ARI" with the regular parameters:

Invoke-ARI


2) Automation is now fully integrated within the ARI Module


The process to run Azure Resource Inventory using Automation Accounts was changed to fully integrate with the new ARI Module



The required steps are present in the: Automation Guide.



3) Azure Rest API


We are finally incorporating Azure REST API data into ARI.

At this time we are only including:

  • Azure Support Tickets
  • Azure Health Incidents
  • Azure Advisor Score Data
  • Reservation Recommendations

We expect this will open doors for extra types of data to be included in the script in the future.

Examples

  • For CloudShell: 
    />./Invoke-ARI -Debug
  • Powershell Desktop: 
    />./Invoke-ARI -TenantID <Azure Tenant ID>

    If you do not specify the Subscription Resource Inventory will be performed on all subscriptions for the selected tenant. To perform the inventory in a specific Tenant and subscription use -TenantID and -SubscriptionID parameter

      />./Invoke-ARI -TenantID <Azure Tenant ID> -SubscriptionID <Subscription ID>
  • Including Tags: 
    />./Invoke-ARI -TenantID <Azure Tenant ID> --IncludeTags

    By Default Azure Resource inventory do not include Resource Tags.

  • Collecting Security Center Data: 
    />./Invoke-ARI -TenantID <Azure Tenant ID> -SubscriptionID <Subscription ID> -SecurityCenter

    By Default Azure Resource inventory do not collect Security Center Data.

  • Skipping Azure Advisor: 
    />./Invoke-ARI -TenantID <Azure Tenant ID> -SubscriptionID <Subscription ID> -SkipAdvisory

    By Default Azure Resource inventory collects Azure Advisor Data.

  • Skipping Network Diagram: 
    />./Invoke-ARI -TenantID <Azure Tenant ID> -SkipDiagram

Getting Started


These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine or CloudShell.


Supportability

Even the script might work in almost all environments. Some components (i.e the Topology Diagram) use some APIs and components only present in Windows environment.


Our Test Environment:

Tool Version
Windows 11 22H2
Powershell 7.4.4

Prerequisites

Since the script is a Powershell Module, and we fully migrated az cli to powershell. No extra requirements are needed.

Just install the AzureResourceInventory Module and all the required modules will be automatically installed as well.

By default Azure Resource Inventory will call to install the required Powershell modules but you must have administrator privileges during the script execution.

Special Thanks for Doug Finke, the Author of Powershell ImportExcel Module.



⚠️ Warnings


Very Important: Azure Resource Inventory will not upgrade the current version of the Powershell modules.


Important: If you're running the script inside Azure CloudShell the final Excel will not have Auto-fit columns and you will see warnings during the script execution (but the results of your inventory will not be changed :)

CloudShell Warnings


Running the script


  • Its really simple to use Azure Resource Inventory, all that you need to do is to invoke this cmdlet in PowerShell.

  • Run "Invoke-ARI". In Azure CloudShell you're already authenticated. In PowerShell Desktop you will be redirected to Azure sign-in page.


RunningARI

  • If you have privileges in multiple tenants you can specify the desired one by using "-TenantID" parameter or Azure Resource will scan all your tenants ID and ask you to choose one.

Tenants Menu

  • After properly authenticated and with the TENANT selected, the Azure Resource Inventory will perform all the work of extracting and creating the inventory.

  • The duration will vary according to the number of subscriptions and resources. In our tests we managed to generate in 5 minutes the inventory of a Tenant with 15 subscriptions and about 12000 resources.

  • Azure ResourceInventory uses "C:\AzureResourceInventory" as default folder for PowerShell Desktop in Windows and "$HOME/AzureResourceInventory" for Azure CloudShell to save the final Excel file.

  • This file will have the name "AzureResourceInventory_Report_yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm.xlsx" where "yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm" are the date and time that this inventory was created.


Versioning and changelog


We use SemVer for versioning. For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.

We also keep the CHANGELOG.md file in repository to Document version changes and updates.
