Azure Resource Graph

description Azure Resource Graph Overview

Resource Graph allows you to query metadata across *all* resources in your entire Azure tenant using a single, powerful query language. Unlike querying a specific resource group, Resource Graph provides a holistic, cross-cutting view of your entire cloud footprint. This is invaluable for auditing, asset discovery, and understanding the relationships between disparate services without needing to know where the data lives.

help Azure Resource Graph FAQ

What can Azure Resource Graph query that Azure Monitor cannot?

Resource Graph searches Azure resource metadata across subscriptions and management groups, making it useful for inventories, tags, regions, and configuration properties. Azure Monitor focuses on operational telemetry such as metrics, logs, traces, and alerts.

Which query language does Azure Resource Graph use?

It uses a subset of Kusto Query Language, commonly called KQL. Queries can filter the Resources table, join resource containers, expand arrays, and summarize results by properties such as subscription or resource type.

Can Resource Graph search every subscription in a tenant at once?

It can query multiple accessible subscriptions in one operation, including scopes selected through Azure Resource Graph Explorer. Results are limited by the caller's Azure permissions, so it cannot reveal resources the signed-in identity is not authorized to read.

Why does my Resource Graph query return only 1,000 rows?

A Resource Graph query returns at most 1,000 records by default. Larger inventories require pagination with the SDK or command-line skip token rather than assuming the first response is complete.
