Article summary

Overview

Resource details is a document type in Azure Documenter that provides resource information grouped by resource type, without billing or other cost data.

The Resource details document is organized into two main parts: an App Registrations section at the tenant level, and per-subscription resource sections.

App Registrations

The document begins with a tenant-level App Registrations section listing all app registrations in the Microsoft Entra ID tenant. For each app registration, the document shows:

  • Display Name — the app registration's display name
  • App Id — the application (client) ID
  • Created Datetime — when the registration was created
  • Description — the registration description, if set
  • Tags — any tags applied to the registration
  • Secrets — a table of configured secrets with Display name and Expiry date

Per-subscription resource data

For each selected subscription, the document provides:

  • Resource Type Details — a summary table of resource types present in the subscription, with the count of resources per type
  • Resource Group Details — a summary table of resource groups, with the count of resources per group
  • Location Details — a summary table of Azure regions in use, with the count of resources per location

Following the summary tables, the document lists each resource type with its individual resources. For each resource, the document shows: Id, Kind, Location, Name, Plan, Resource Group, Pricing Tier, Type, Zones, and Identity.

When Include resource level properties is enabled, each resource entry also includes a comprehensive Properties section containing all available Azure resource configuration properties.

Resource network diagram

The Resource details document can include built-in network diagrams that visualize how different components are connected to a specific Azure resource. Network diagrams are supported for the following resource types:

  • API Management Service
  • App Service Plan
  • Azure Cosmos DB
  • Azure Function App
  • Data Factory
  • Kubernetes Service
  • SQL Servers
  • Service Bus Namespace
  • Storage Account
  • Traffic Manager Profile
  • Virtual Networks
  • Virtual Machines
  • Web App

Configuration

Use the following steps to generate a Resource details document. Navigate to Azure Documenter to get started.

  1. Click New configuration. The Configure your document wizard opens.
  2. In Step 1 — Basics, enter a configuration name. Under Choose document type, select Resource details. Optionally enable Include resource level properties to include a full Properties section for each resource in the output. Click Next.
  3. In Step 2 — Service principal, select the service principal and configure the subscription scope. Click Next.
  4. Complete Steps 3–6 (Branding, Publish settings, Schedule, Notifications) as required. Click Next after each step.
  5. In Step 7 — Review, confirm your configuration and click Finish.

Once generation is complete, a URL is created for the document, and you can download it using the Download link.

Resource network configuration

Network diagram selections are only available when editing an existing configuration — the Diagrams checklist does not appear during initial configuration creation.

  1. Click the Actions menu next to the configuration in the Documentation tab.
  2. Select Edit. The Edit configuration wizard opens.
  3. In Step 1 — Basics, under Resource properties, enable Include resource level properties if required. Under Diagrams, select the resource types to include network diagrams for.
