AZ CLI commands for Logic App Workflow

AZ CLI commands for Logic App Workflow

Rohan Bangale 20

az logic workflow list command returns empty results
Documentation does not help, have got latest CLI and Extension, this command doesn't work.
To view the workflows present in a specific Logic App using the Azure CLI, you can use the command az logic workflow list. This command will list all workflows associated with your Logic Apps. Ensure that you have the Azure CLI installed and that you are logged in to your Azure account. If you want to filter the results further, you might need to specify the resource group and the Logic App name. This command is part of the Azure CLI Logic extension, which allows you to manage workflows effectively. Make sure you have the Azure CLI version 2.55.0 or higher installed, as the extension will automatically install the first time you run any az logic command.
Anyone knows the right command ?

Hi, when working with Logic Apps via CLI, the behavior depends on the hosting model: Consumption or Standard.

If your Logic App is Consumption-based (multi-tenant, one workflow per resource), the command az logic workflow list -g <rg> works as expected and shows the workflows directly, since they’re top-level Microsoft.Logic/workflows resources.

If instead you’re using a Standard Logic App (single-tenant, multiple workflows in one app), that same command returns nothing. That’s because the workflows are nested under the App Service site (Microsoft.Web/sites/<logic-app>/workflows/<workflow>), and the current CLI doesn’t fetch child resources in this context.

To list workflows for a Standard app, you need to either:

– use az resource list --ids <logic-app-id>/workflows,

– or make a direct REST call with az rest to that same ARM endpoint.

This isn’t a bug, just a limitation of the CLI for now. The Logic Apps team is planning better support in the future, but until then, for Standard apps, use az resource or az rest.

Thanks @Michele Ariis - Option 1 shows me this,

I will try az REST

az resource list --ids
unrecognized arguments: --ids

Examples from AI knowledge base:
az resource list
List resources. (autogenerated)

az resource list --name 'resourceName'
List all resources with the name 'resourceName'.

az group list --query "[?location=='westus']"
List all resource groups located in the West US region.

The correct command depends on the Logic App template.

If it's Consumption, az logic workflow list -g <rg> works (or show for a specific one).

If it's Standard, az logic workflow list returns empty because the workflows are child resources under the App Service site: use this and don't put --ids (it's not supported on az resource list):

az resource list -g <rg> --resource-type "Microsoft.Web/sites/workflows" \

--query "[?contains(id, '/sites/<logic-app-name>/workflows/')].{name:name,state:properties.state}" -o table

Oppure via REST (più preciso):

APP_ID=$(az resource show -g <rg> -n <logic-app-name> --resource-type Microsoft.Web/sites --query id -o tsv)

az rest --method get --url "https://management.azure.com${APP_ID}/workflows?api-version=2024-11-01

Hi @Rohan Bangale ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Michele Ariis correctly mentioned that az logic workflow list command list the Multi-Tenant Consumption based Logic app workflows. This command works fine. So, Az CLI does not directly provide the list of workflows for standard logic apps. az resource list command displays the JSON information about the resource.

There are 2 ways to get the workflow details for Standard Logic app.

If you just want basic details of all workflows like below. Then use az rest command as Michele suggested.

  APP_ID=$(az resource show -g RESOURCE_GROUP -n LOGIC_APP_NAME --resource-type Microsoft.Web/sites --query id -o tsv)
  az rest --method get --url "https://management.azure.com${APP_ID}/workflows?api-version=2024-11-01"

 {
  "id": null,
  "nextLink": null,
  "value": [
  {
    "id": "/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/RESOURCE_GROUP /providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/LOGIC_APP_NAME/workflows/WORKFLOW_NAME_1",
    "kind": "Stateless",
    "location": "Central US",
    "name": "LOGIC_APP_NAME/WORKFLOW_NAME_1",
    "properties": {
      "flowState": "Enabled",
      "health": {
        "state": "Healthy"
      }
    },
    "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/workflows"
  },
  {
    "id": "/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/RESOURCE_GROUP /providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/LOGIC_APP_NAME/workflows/WORKFLOW_NAME_2",
    "kind": "Stateless",
    "location": "Central US",
    "name": "LOGIC_APP_NAME/WORKFLOW_NAME_2",
    "properties": {
      "flowState": "Enabled",
      "health": {
        "state": "Healthy"
      }
    },
    "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/workflows"
  }
  ]

If you want all the details including definition/actions of workflows like sample below. But we can get data for a particular workflow.

  az resource show --ids $(az logicapp show --name "LOGIC_APP_NAME" --resource-group "RESOURCE_GROUP" --subscription "SUBSCRIPTION_NAME" | jq -r '.id  | rtrimstr("/") + "/workflows/WORKFLOW_NAME_2"')

OR

  az resource show --ids /subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/RESOURCE_GROUP/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/LOGIC_APP_NAME/workflows/WORKFLOW_NAME_2

 {
    "extendedLocation": null,
    "id": "/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/RESOURCE_GROUP/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/LOGIC_APP_NAME/workflows/WORKFLOW_NAME_2",
    "identity": null,
    "kind": "Stateless",
    "location": "Central US",
    "managedBy": null,
    "name": "LOGIC_APP_NAME/WORKFLOW_NAME_2",
    "plan": null,
    "properties": {
    "files": {
        "workflow.json": {
        "definition": {
            "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",
            "actions": {
            "Current_time": {
                "inputs": {},
                "kind": "CurrentTime",
                "runAfter": {},
                "type": "Expression"
            }
            },
            "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
            "outputs": {},
            "triggers": {
            "logic2": {
                "kind": "Http",
                "type": "Request"
            }
            }
        },
        "kind": "Stateless"
        }
    },
    "flowState": "Enabled",
    "health": {
        "state": "Healthy"
    }
    },
    "resourceGroup": "rg-logicapp",
    "sku": null,
    "tags": null,
    "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/workflows"
    }

So, as per the requirement the commands can be used. Also, they can be used in combination. First az rest command to get names of all workflows and then az resource command to get the details.

Terms used above.

SUBSCRIPTION_NAME: name of subscription, logic app resides in.
RESOURCE_GROUP: resource group name
LOGIC_APP_NAME: standard logic app name
WORKFLOW_NAME_2: workflow name in standard logic app.

Hi @Michele Ariis
I validated the Logic app type and it is Standard one so, rest is the way
Thanks for you answer, That was helpful.
