If I run az vm list it will output JSON which I can save to a text file. What if instead I wanted to save it to a database, like MongoDB? How would that work?

CodePudding user response：

It is very simple to take JSON and dump it into mongodb. Azure CLI tends to emit responses as arrays, so to save it to mongodb, use mongoimport with the --jsonArray argument, e.g.

az vm list > /tmp/z && mongoimport --uri 'mongodb://localhost:37017/someDB' -c someCollection --jsonArray /tmp/z
