Get storage account configuration information

To display the Azure Resource Manager resource ID for a storage account in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your storage account in the Azure portal.

2. On the Overview page, in the Essentials section, select the JSON View link.

3. The resource ID for the storage account is displayed at the top of the page.

   

To return the Azure Resource Manager resource ID for a storage account with PowerShell, make sure you have installed the Az.Storage module. Next, call the Get-AzStorageAccount command to return the storage account and get its resource ID:

(Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName <resource-group> -Name <storage-account>).Id

To return the Azure Resource Manager resource ID for a storage account with Azure CLI, call the az storage account show command and query the resource ID:

az storage account show \
    --name <storage-account> \
    --resource-group <resource-group> \
    --query id \
    --output tsv

To view the account type, location, or replication SKU for a storage account in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your storage account in the Azure portal.

2. Locate these properties on the Overview page, in the Essentials section

   

To view the account type, location, or replication SKU for a storage account with PowerShell, call the Get-AzStorageAccount command to return the storage account, then check the properties:

$account = Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName <resource-group> -Name <storage-account>
$account.Location
$account.Sku
$account.Kind

To view the account type, location, or replication SKU for a storage account with PowerShell, call the az storage account show command and query the properties:

az storage account show \
    --name <storage-account> \
    --resource-group <resource-group> \
    --query '[location,sku,kind]' \
    --output tsv

To get the service endpoints for a storage account in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your storage account in the Azure portal.

2. In the Settings section, locate the Endpoints setting.

3. On the Endpoints page, you'll see the service endpoint for each Azure Storage service, as well as the resource ID.

   

If the storage account is geo-replicated, the secondary endpoints will also appear on this page.

To get the service endpoints for a storage account with PowerShell, call Get-AzStorageAccount and return the PrimaryEndpoints property. If the storage account is geo-replicated, then the SecondaryEndpoints property returns the secondary endpoints.

(Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $accountName).PrimaryEndpoints
(Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $accountName).SecondaryEndpoints

To get the service endpoints for a storage account with Azure CLI, call az storage account show and return the primaryEndpoints property. If the storage account is geo-replicated, then the secondaryEndpoints property returns the secondary endpoints.

az storage account show \
    --resource-group <resource-group> \
    --name <account-name> \
    --query '[primaryEndpoints, secondaryEndpoints]'

To get a connection string in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your storage account in the Azure portal.
2. In the Security + networking section, locate the Access keys setting.
3. To display the account keys and associated connection strings, select the Show keys button at the top of the page.
4. To copy a connection string to the clipboard, select the Copy button to the right of the connection string.

To get a connection string with PowerShell, first get a StorageAccountContext object, then retrieve the ConnectionString property.

$rgName = "<resource-group>"
$accountName = "storagesamplesdnszone2"

(Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName <resource-group> -Name <storage-account>).Context.ConnectionString

To get a connection string with Azure CLI, call the az storage account show-connection-string command.

az storage account show-connection-string --resource-group <resource-group> --name <storage-account>

To display the creation time of the account access keys for a storage account in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your storage account in the Azure portal.

2. On the Overview page, in the Essentials section, select the JSON View link.

3. On the Resource JSON page, select the most recent API version.

4. In the JSON under properties you will see the keyCreationTime for key1 and key2.

   

To return the creation time of the account access keys for a storage account with PowerShell, make sure you have installed the Az.Storage module. Next, call the Get-AzStorageAccount command to get the keyCreationTime property, which includes the creation time for both keys. In the sample code below we get the keyCreationTime for both keys and test whether each value is null:

$rgName      = <resource-group>
$accountName = <storage-account>

# Get the keyCreationTime property of the storage account
$keyCreationTime = (Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $accountName).keyCreationTime
# Display the value for both keys
$keyCreationTime
# Check both properties for null values
Write-Host 'keyCreationTime.key1 is null = ' ($keyCreationTime.key1 -eq $null)
Write-Host 'keyCreationTime.key2 is null = ' ($keyCreationTime.key2 -eq $null)

To return the creation time of the account access keys for a storage account with Azure CLI, call the az storage account show command and query the keyCreationTime:

az storage account show \
    --name <storage-account> \
    --resource-group <resource-group> \
    --query keyCreationTime
