Accessing Government Cloud (High)

[Bakan0]

Awesome tool! I'm hoping that it can connect to the government cloud. Is there a command or switch/option that exists to set that?
After loggin in, I receive the following error message:
Error: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).

[welcome]

Thanks for opening your first issue! Reports like these help improve the project!

Unfortunately, it can not. It connects to the public cloud version only. I do not have a Government Cloud account, so I m unsure if the same calls can be made. If so, it might be an option to change the base url to try out?

[Bakan0]

I would certainly try that out and report back! Would I change the base URL with a CLI switch/option?

At the moment, there is no CLI switch for it. So if you can run the source, you can change the url here: https://github.com/mivano/azure-cost-cli/blob/main/src/Program.cs#L24
If that works, I can introduce an override.

[Bakan0]

That's exciting! According to their documentation here: Compare Azure Government and global Azure
, updating that to management.usgovcloudapi.net should work. I'm going to try it out today and report back. Thank you!

[mivano]

I m assuming it is similar for the other clouds (like German), but I m unable to verify, so do let me know and I will see how we can add an override in.

[Bakan0]

So I forked it and made the change, but as I am not a developer, I cannot seem to figure out how to compile it into a binary :/

I am running ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and have dotnet and cmake installed, but I'm not sure how to create a usable executable from the code/Program.cs file. I'm doing my best to check around the internet, but if you could provide me with some guidance, that would surely be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

[mivano]

From the src folder, you should be able to execute dotnet run, optionally passing in --framework net6.0. This will build and run the application. The binary can be found in the bin/debug/netx folder (azure-cost).

[Bakan0]

Is this meaningful output? I did run az login --scope management.usgovcloudapi.net/.default with a successful login once also updating the url here: https://github.com/mivano/azure-cost-cli/blob/main/src/CostApi/AzureCostApiRetriever.cs#L60

Is there something else you wold like me to try?

[mivano]

What did you change the url to? So the one that is used by the RetrieveCosts call? A 404 indicates that it cannot find it.

[Bakan0]

management.usgovcloudapi.net

I suppose we are at a dead end then. Thank you for the assistance ☺️

[mivano]

According to this page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-government/compare-azure-government-global-azure#guidance-for-developers) it should be that URL.

What you can do: when in the Azure portal (the government one), go the the Cost management page and inspect the network traffic and see where the calls to the Query endpoint go to.

[Bakan0]

Hello again! Good news I believe! I had to supply the subscription id, since ours differs from our tenant id, but by running this command:
dotnet run --framework net6.0 costByTag --tag CostCenter --tag costcenter-tag-for-IT -s our-subscription-id

I think I just need to figure out the querying, and I may be actually able to pull some useful data!! Thank you for your assistance! I'm not sure if I should close this issue or not. I'm also not very sure how to share the changes made with you, but you can see them over at my fork, since that's what I'm using: https://github.com/Bakan0/azure-cost-cli/tree/main

[mivano]

Ah that is good to hear. I see in the diff what you changed, so I have to see how I can make this configurable. Give me some time please as I m traveling at the moment.

[mivano]

Version 0.38.0 should contain the ability to change the base urls via the config param. See the readme for the options.
