Get the current status of Fabric Capacity

Hello Scott Klein,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

You're running this inside an Azure Automation Runbook and trying to query the status of a Microsoft.Fabric capacity using Invoke-AzRestMethod.

You are using PowerShell + ARM REST API, Correct endpoint, correct API version (2023-11-01 is valid). Likely failure is due to authentication context, missing modules, or unsupported Invoke-AzRestMethod in Automation.

Azure Automation Runbooks do not always have access to:

1. The Invoke-AzRestMethod cmdlet unless you're using Az.Accounts module >= 4.4.0.
2. An authenticated context unless you explicitly import Az.Accounts and call Connect-AzAccount or Connect-AzAccount -Identity (for Managed Identity),
3. Proper permissions (e.g., RBAC on the Fabric resource), Assign appropriate RBAC roles to the identity (e.g., Reader, Contributor) on the target subscription/resource.
4. Ensure Az Modules are Imported.

• Go to Modules in your Automation Account.
• Make sure Az.Accounts and Az.Resources (or full Az module) are imported and up to date.

Please follow the below document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/manage-azure-resources-invoke-azrestmethod?view=azps-14.2.0

Please follow the steps below to resolve your issue.

1. Authenticate using Managed Identity
2. Validate the subscription Id, resource group and capacity name
3. Ensure that you are using correct API version (2023-11-01 is valid)
4. Return the valid response $Content.properties.status to get the Azure Fabric Capacity status.

# Authenticate using Managed Identity
Connect-AzAccount -Identity
 
# Define REST API parameters
$params = @{
Method = 'GET'
Path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Fabric/capacities/${capacity}?api-version=${apiVersion}"
}
 
# Invoke the REST API
$response = Invoke-AzRestMethod @params
 
# access the status property from response
$Content = $response.Content | ConvertFrom-Json
$Status = $Content.properties.status

# Output the result
Write-Output "Capacity State: $Status"
