New version is taking too long to building report...

[fepere]

Hello @Claudio-Merola,

The previous version takes ~28 min to cover +/-390 subscriptions, now this new version is taking forever. more than 4 hours already.

also, I had tried the Automation account and get suspended.

I had enabled the debug but now able to find any issues.

Can you please take a look on that?

Thx

[Claudio-Merola]

Hi @fepere

There are some new steps to collect extra data in this version. Running the script with -Debug we can see what exactly the script is doing, with that, can you tell me the following:

The script is getting "stuck" at some specific part?

In case the script is running normally, but is just taking longer, at which part is actually taking longer than used to?

Thanks

[fepere]

Hi @Claudio-Merola

Yes, it's stuck here:

@fepere

The script took 8 hours to send the Load Balancers to the Excel file after the processing was done. The script usually take longer times to process the resources, not to send them to the Excel File...

Apparently something is wrong here.

How much memory is the Powershell process consuming?

[fepere]

Hi @Claudio-Merola

yes, it's taking more then 20G as you can see the screenshot

[Claudio-Merola]

@fepere

This should also be addressed in the version 3.5.1, can you try it and see how it goes?

Thanks

[fepere]

Hi @Claudio-Merola I updated to 3.5.1 version and still running, the ARI detect

Please take a look and let me know

Thanks Fernando Pereira

Hi @Claudio-Merola, in this new version, and in the previous one, when generating the Report, the process remains stopped after the LoadBalanced Module, I left the process running for more than 24 hours, and it did not pass 78%.

DEBUG: 2024-09-12_14_17_21 - Running Module: 'AppGW'. Lines Count: 2 DEBUG: 2024-09-12_14_17_29 - Running Module: 'Connections'. Lines Count: 2 DEBUG: 2024-09-12_14_17_33 - Running Module: 'LoadBalancer'. Lines Count: 178524 Azure Resource Inventory Reporting (1088) Resources [Processing In

It works well for most subscriptions. Thanks for your effort.

[Claudio-Merola]

@fepere It is still running in what phase? Is that after the processing jobs? How much memory is the process consuming now?

@Rodzmig Is the Excel file populated with the Load Balancer's data? 178k lines is a lot of lines for the script to process, how much memory the powershell process is consuming?

[fepere]

@Claudio-Merola I started again the Invoke-ARI and per de debug logs the Jobs Completed now is taking forever for Cache Files as you can see:

The pwsh is consuming +/- 20GB as you can see the screenshot

[Rodzmig]

@Claudio-Merola, It consumes between 3.9 and 4.3 GB of RAM, but in the end I had to kill the process, and it was not reflected in the report.

[Rodzmig]

@Claudio-Merola, but Count: 178524, is the number of resources?, If I check it manually, it only has 2 load balancers. I tried to run it several times, but it always stayed at 78% and didn't go beyond that point.

[Claudio-Merola]

@fepere

Can you try the version 3.5.2?

Run it with the parameter "-Heavy" please

[fepere]

Hi @Claudio-Merola I updated to version 3.5.2 and using the -AppId -Secret -Heavy, but I'm seeing this error:

This is the command that I'm using: Invoke-ARI -TenantID $TenantId -AppId $ApplicationId -Secret $SecurePassword -IncludeTags -SkipDiagram -Heavy -Debug

here is the error:

Specified method is not supported. DEBUG: 2024-09-18_09_15_20 - Checking report folder: C:\AzureResourceInventory

See the number of subscription is 0 but this is not true.

Can you please check if you using SPN the system.object cause the problem to get the tenantid?

[Claudio-Merola]

@fepere

I changed the Login behavior of the module when using SPN. Can you try the version 3.5.3 and see if this is working as before?

[fepere]

Hi @Claudio-Merola I tried and the SPN is not working anymore can you please advise?

[fepere]

Hey @Claudio-Merola A versão 3.5.2 funciona o SPN mas não o ManagementGroup. A versão 3.5.3 não está funcionando o SPN mais e com isso não consigo testar o ManagementGroup. Testei o managementgroup com uma conta e esta funcionando, mas preciso que o SPN voltei a funcionar.

[Claudio-Merola]

Ola @fepere

Eu alterei o parametro do SPN para receber o secret como plaintext ao invés de securestring

[fepere]

Olá @Claudio-Merola Tem algo estranho, pq tentei como plaintext e SecureString e não funcionam. veja o exemplo:

Invoke-ARI: Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Secret'. Cannot convert the value of type "System.String" to type "System.Security.SecureString".

Depois tentei fazer o AsSecureString e tbem não funciona:

PS C:\Users\azureuser\Downloads> $SecurePassword = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter a Password' -AsSecureString Enter a Password: **************************************** PS C:\Users\azureuser\Downloads> Invoke-ARI -TenantID $TenantId -AppId $ApplicationId -Secret $SecurePassword -IncludeTags -SkipDiagram -Heavy -Debug DEBUG: 2024-09-23_11_54_53 - Debbuging Mode: On.

DEBUG: 2024-09-23_11_54_54 - Starting Test-ARIPS function PowerShell Desktop Identified. AzureCloud Extracting Subscriptions from Tenant xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Get-AzSubscription: Run Connect-AzAccount to login.

Ele não conecta com a SPN.

Obrigado Fernando

[fepere]

Olã @Claudio-Merola Vocë conseguiu verificar o meu ultimo comentário?

Um ponto importante, estou usando a versão anterior ao do módulo e não temos esse problema de performance e o relatório é concluído para 405 subscriptions + 200k resources em +- 30 minutos. Gostaria de te pedir para avaliar essa mudança pq o impacto está sendo grande e a nova versão deixei rodando por 2 dias e não termina, consumindo toda a memoria do recurso, mudei de 16gb para 32gb e mesmo assim não funciona.

[Claudio-Merola]

Ola @fepere

Eu acabei de atualizar a versão do modulo para 3.5.4. O SPN deve estar funcionando agora. Passe o SPN como plaintext.

Quanto a performance, é bem estranho este comportamento, não alteramos a forma como o script processa as informações.

Executando o script com o parametro -Debug, em qual parte o script fica "parado"?
