APPLIES TO: Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server

This article helps you troubleshoot common issues with Azure CLI when using Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server.

Command not found

If you receive an error that a command is misspelled or not recognized by the system, this could mean that CLI version on your client machine may not be up to date. Run az upgrade to upgrade to latest version. Doing an upgrade of your CLI version can help resolve issues with incompatibilities of a command due to any API changes.

Debug deployment failures

Currently, Azure CLI doesn't support turning on debug logging, but you can retrieve debug logging by doing the following steps.

Note

  • Replace examplegroup and exampledeployment with the correct resource group and deployment name for your database server.
  • You can see the Deployment name in the deployments page in your resource group. See how to find the deployment name

  1. List the deployments in resource group to identify the Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server deployment.

        az deployment operation group list \
      --resource-group examplegroup \
      --name exampledeployment

  2. Get the request content of the Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server deployment.

        az deployment operation group list \
      --name exampledeployment \
      -g examplegroup \
      --query [].properties.request

  3. Examine the response content.

    az deployment operation group list \
  --name exampledeployment \
  -g examplegroup \
  --query [].properties.response
