使用 XML 文件同时为多个虚拟机启用 Windows Azure 诊断扩展 (WAD)

Question

I'm trying to enable Azure Diagnostics extension (WAD) with Powershell / Azurebook using XML file. I'm able to get this working only on single vm at time because XML file has this line in there (without it don't work, atleast i think so link to it ) where i specify vm's name and resource group.

<Metrics resourceId="/subscriptions/11111111-1111-1111-1111111111111111/resourceGroups/MyResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/MyWindowsVM" >

My XML file which is stored in Azure storage account.

Then I found this diagnostics-configuration-variables where it stated I could somehow maybe be possible to insert more vm names or somehow dodge that line so I could mass install that without needed to change xml after every install but things it that my xml and another scripting skills kinda ended already...

Do you have ideas how could this be done so I could use that xml (or maybe json?) file to install that extension to many vm's at the same time using Powershell / Runbooks?

Script that I use to deploy extension which work with one vm at the time.

$SAResourceGroupName="rg name"
$StorageAccountName="storage account name"

$StorageAccountKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $SAResourceGroupName -AccountName $StorageAccountName).Value[1]
$Context=New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $StorageAccountKey

$tmpStart = Get-Date
$tmpEnd = $tmpStart.AddHours(2.0)
$SASToken = New-AzStorageBlobSASToken -Blob "DiagnosticsPubConfig.xml" -Container "scripts" -Context $Context -Permission r -StartTime $tmpStart -ExpiryTime $tmpEnd -FullURI



Set-AzVMDiagnosticsExtension -ResourceGroupName COMMVM-SUB2012-RG -VMName nalle9002 -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath "$SASToken" -StorageAccountName storage account name

I got it somehow working with using this in xml.

<Metrics resourceId="/subscriptions/subscription().subscriptionId/resourceGroups/resourceGroup().name/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/vmName">

When using Powershell I get error but it still works (at least for now).
