properties are shown as null when query microsoft.insights resources

Description

When I run az resource list --namespace microsoft.insights --resource-type components I get the list of Application Insights components. Json field properties is shown as null for them:

  {
    "id": "/subscriptions/01f5dafd-52e6-4115-b012-803e14712153/resourceGroups/metricstest/providers/microsoft.insights/components/metricstest",
    "identity": null,
    "kind": "web",
    "location": "eastus",
    "managedBy": null,
    "name": "metricstest",
    "plan": null,
    "properties": null,
    "resourceGroup": "metricstest",
    "sku": null,
    "tags": {},
    "type": "microsoft.insights/components"
  },

Actual properties looks like this:

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/01f5dafd-52e6-4115-b012-803e14712153/resourceGroups/MetricsTest/providers/microsoft.insights/components/metricstest",

My first thought was you do something like:

az resource list --type Microsoft.insights/component --query "[].id" -o tsv | az resource show --ids @-

However, that doesn’t work because the resource show command doesn’t accept --ids!

I’ve reached out to the ARM team to see if they have any recommendations on this.

@tjprescott I’d really like to be able to get the list of components and their instrumentation key (which is in properties) in a single query to azure cli. Do you know who can we ask from ARM to return properties when cache is being used?
