Hi
While trying to query devices from the IoTHub registry my first attempt was to look for a
az iot hub device-twin query
command which does not exist.Then, I stumbled upon
az iot hub device-twin list
which does aselect * from devices
by default. But looking at the auto-completion of this command I was a bit misled : it does indeed offer a--query
flag, but it has nothing to do with the fact of querying devices. As discovered later in the--help
output, it's a global flag also used by a lot of commands to filter the JSON output with JMESPath.In the end, the command I was looking for is
az iot hub query
which was not very obvious as there's no mention of "devices" in its name.So my hope with this PR is that it will avoid other users to waste time and more easily find the command they are looking for.
Thanks.
