resource-template | Can be used as template | Continous Integration library

I have created a few ARM templates for deploying Azure metric alert rules, but I now have a requirement to deploy a log alert rule (i.e. a rule based on an Application Insights query rather than a platform metric).

I have scripted the template following the example here (which suggests I need to create a resource of type Microsoft.Insights/scheduledQueryRules) and deployed using Azure portal's Template Deployment service as described here.

Azure reports the deployment as successful, and the activity log gives me the deployment result, including the ID of my new resource e.g. /subscriptions/[subscription-id]/resourcegroups/[alerts-resource-group]/providers/Microsoft.Insights/scheduledQueryRules/Custom errors spike alert.

However, when I navigate to the Monitor blade in subscription [subscription-id], and filter down by resource group [alerts-resource-group] I don't see my new alert.

As a sanity check I created a metric alert using the same process targeting the same App Insights resource, and this one does show up in the Monitor blade.

I guess my question is, am I misunderstanding something about log-based alert rules? For example, does an Azure 'resource' of type Microsoft.Insights/scheduledQueryRules equate with alert rules of signal type Log Search in Monitor / Alerts / Manage alert rules? I'm confident my template is correct because it passes validation and completed successfully. But I'm baffled about where the alert rule is ending up!

One thing I should mention is that I'm creating the alert rule in a different resource group to the App Insights instance itself, but this is also true of the metric alert so assumed this wasn't significant.

This article shows a tutorial how to deploy some resources from ARM templates in a powershell runbook. And as I understand, it will download the template and the parameters files in the specific path. But how can that work in an automated Runbook without having any directly attached storage to the automation account. Obviously, I'm misunderstanding something...

I mean the Get-AzureStorageFileContent command:

I'm using Azure RM Template deployments with a Visual Studio 2017 Resource Group project to deploy IoTHub instance with diagnostics settings in Log Analytics.

Deploying IoTHub alone is successful, the problem is with deployment of the Diagnostics Settings template.

I'm following the instructions for deploying Diagnostics Settings as Non-Compute resource template

The strange error that I receive is the following:

Error: Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation failed: 'The template resource 'Microsoft.Insights/BasicDiagnostics' for type 'providers/diagnosticSettings' at line '69' and column '9' has incorrect segment lengths. A nested resource type must have identical number of segments as its resource name. A root resource type must have segment length one greater than its resource name.

Why does it fail like this, even though I follow the documentation with the provided example?

Here are my template definitions:

When deploying a linked ARM templated via a master ARM template using the New-AzureRmDeployment commandlet, I am getting an error when trying to use the resourceGroup().name function and property. The error message is:

I'm unable to deploy this NESTED template because of an Custom Script Extension (CompDesc) that I've added to it. I am prompted with the following error when trying to deploy:

Error: Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation failed: 'The template resource 'CompDesc' for type 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions' at line '207' and column '6' has incorrect segment lengths. A nested resource type must have identical number of segments as its resource name. A root resource type must have segment length one greater than its resource name. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template/#resources for usage details.'.

As you can see it already has a DSC extension which I have tested and deployed perfectly fine, but I also need to add this CSE for a small .ps1 script.

I have checked out: Azure website resource template error and Set ARM Template Web appSetting

I have tried:

• changing the name to 1 word
• changing the type to 1 word
• changing the name to [concat(parameters('vmName'),'/extension')]
• changing the type to Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions
• nested the resource inside the VM resource, and then changed the name and type to one of the varieties I've tried
• removed the CSE from the VM resource and placed it on its own (as it is now shown), and then changed the name and type to one of the varieties I've tried

I know it has something to do with the naming convention, but I'm unsure on how to fix it. Bear in mind, that this is a nested template. From what I read and understand from the error, nested templates must have identical segments as its resource name, which I've tried.

Please, any ideas?

I have an ARM template to deploy/update the full Azure infrastructure for my application. Our build server should run the template, and add/update/delete resources that are add/changed/deleted. To make this work, I have chosen for the "Complete" deployment mode.

To test the ARM template, I have to following power shell script:
