Setting Tags on Azure IotHub using PowerShell

Question

I am spinning up our environment using PowerShell scripts. I use Tags to keep track of some useful tidbits across all Resources.

For most everything I can do something like this (skipping all the error checking and existing tags):

$resource = Get-AzureRmResouce -ResourceGroupName 'my-rg' -ResourceType 'microsoft.web/sites' -ResourceName 'my-app'
Set-AzureRmResource -ResourceId $resource.ResourceId -Tags @(${'tagname'='tagvalue';})

However, for IoT Hubs the above gives me:

The requested resource does not support http method 'PATCH'

Some resources give me another mechanism, e.g.

New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name 'my-rg' -Tag ...

but I don't see that for IoT Hubs either.

Answer 1

Currently, IoT Hubs does not support add Tags. Please refer to this feedback.

If you want to manage your resource, maybe you could add tags to your resource group.

Answer 2

I tried to create new tags successfully by using the cmdlet of New-AzureRmResourceGroup:

New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name 'my-rg' -Tag @{key1="value1";key2="value2"}

please notice the data value format of Tag parameter (it is a hashs table),and then use Get-AzureRmTag to check the result: AzureRM Tags

BTW, the version of my AzureRM is 4.3.1, you can use under cmdlet to check the version:

Get-Module AzureRM -list | Select-Object Name,Version,Path

You can get more information from Microsoft Azure New-AzureRmResourceGroup
