API Filtering

I’m making the API calls from PowerShell, so ended up doing the filtering there.  It’s obviously not as efficient as it could be, as I’m retrieving things I don’t actually need from the LM API, but I couldn’t find a way to make it work otherwise.

So I do my query, then loop through each page of results, then filter it as below and process just the items that pass the filter:

    $filteredDevices = $devices.items | Where-Object {

        ($_ | Select -ExpandProperty systemProperties | where-object {$_.name -eq "system.azure.tag.environment"}).value -in $prodTagValues -OR

        ($_ | Select -ExpandProperty systemProperties | where-object {$_.name -eq "system.azure.tag.environment"}).length -eq 0

    }
