Impacted resources from Azure Retirements

To support of the experience of viewing Impacted Resources, Service Health has features to:

• Display resources that are impacted due to a Retirement.
• Provide impacted resources information for retirements through the Service Health Portal.

This article details what communication is available to users, and where they can view information about their impacted resources.

Viewing impacted resources for Retirements in the Service Health portal

In the Azure portal, the Impacted Resources tab located in the Health advisories panel displays the resources affected by a retirement event. The example here illustrates how the tab highlights a retirement scenario with impacted resources.

They're shown in the Impacted Resources tab.

Service Health provides the following information on resources impacted by a Retirement.

Filter the results

You can filter the results through:

• Region
• Subscription ID
• Resource Type

Export to a CSV file

Select the Export to CSV to export the list of impacted resources to an Excel file.

The CSV file contains the following fields:

Access impacted resources programmatically

Follow these steps to get information about retirement-impacted resources.

Step 1. Use API Query

Get the ID for the event using the Recommendation Metadata API. For more information, see Recommendation Metadata - List - REST API.

Step 2. Use ARG Query

Use the ID to fetch impacted resources from Azure Resource Graph (ARG).

advisorresources
| where type == "microsoft.advisor/recommendations"
| where properties.recommendationTypeId == "7e570000-n78d-yh67-2xzc4-v16005e1k" //use the Id fetched from above
| extend resourceId = tolower(properties.resourceMetadata.resourceId)
| project resourceId 
| join kind=inner (
    resources
    | extend region = location, resourceId = tolower(id), resourceName = name, resourceGroup = resourceGroup, subscriptionId, resourceType = type 
) on resourceId
| project region = location, resourceId = tolower(id), resourceName = name, resourceGroup = resourceGroup, subscriptionId, resourceType = type
