az graph query -o table missing columns in output

az feedback auto-generates most of the information requested below, as of CLI version 2.0.62

Describe the bug az graph query command using -o table option is missing columns from output that are included when using other output formats such as -o tsv.

To Reproduce

• Write your query, e.g.: resources | project     id,     type  | summarize resourceCount=count() by type | order by type asc
• Save your query to a file e.g. resource-summary.kql
• Run your query using -o table, e.g.: az graph query -q "$(<resource-summary.kql)" --first 5000 -o table > resource-summary.kql.txt
• Examine results, note that type column is missing.
• Run your query again using -o tsv, e.g.: az graph query -q "$(<resource-summary.kql)" --first 5000 -o tsv > resource-summary.kql.txt
• Examine results, note that type column data is included. Expected behavior

All columns in results should be included in -o table output.

Hi ankitsrao,

Sorry for the delayed reply. The first part of your question about id and type columns are not printed in table format is actually by design of Azure CLI. Please find the docs and the workaround in the ‘note’ section. Looks like you’re already using another workaround of renaming type column to a different name within the graph query itsef: “project resource=type”.

Regarding your 2nd question of the newer az cli version, the output of az graph cmdlet is changed for the pagination purposes to return a ‘skip_token’, 'count; and ‘total_records’ properties along with the ‘data’. So output of --table format is actually showing the top level properies which are now not your custom data properties but the default ones that I just mentioned.

As a workaround please try using JMESPath extension. Here is an example of rewriting your query with the newest az cli version: az graph query -q " summarize count() by type | where type =='microsoft.compute/virtualmachines' | project resource=type, total=count_ | order by total desc" --query 'data[].{resource:resource, total:total}' -o table

To downgrade the resource-graph extension please try to remove it and add with the older version:

az extension remove --name resource-graph
az extension add --name resource-graph --version 1.1.0
