get_instance_view function doesn't return statuses about azure-sdk-for-python

[Drewm3]

@TravisCragg-MSFT, I am going to assign this one to you for now. Could you please move it over to Kanika once she is setup in GitHub.

get_instance_view returns an instance of VirtualMachineScaleSetVMInstanceView:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-compute/azure.mgmt.compute.v2023_09_01.models.virtualmachinescalesetvminstanceview?view=azure-python

If you print a model, the SDK is trying to show you a preview of the model content, but it doesn't do this recursively (it's just for preview in logs as a string). The current example you show, is actually a result of print(result)

You can access the "statuses" by attribute syntax:

for status in result.statuses:
    print(f"Code: {status.code}, Level: {status.level}, Display: {status.display_status}, Message: {status.message}")

Or convert the entire model recursively to dict, and access what he wants with dict syntax:

dictified_result = result.as_dict()
for status in dictified_result["statuses"]:
    print(" ".join([f"{key}: {value}" for key, value in status.items()]))

Running this code gives something like:

Code: ProvisioningState/succeeded, Level: Info, Display: Provisioning succeeded, Message: None
Code: PowerState/running, Level: Info, Display: VM running, Message: None
code: ProvisioningState/succeeded level: Info display_status: Provisioning succeeded time: 2024-05-16T06:42:02.964781Z
code: PowerState/running level: Info display_status: VM running
