Description

I can currently use terraform to create an azurerm_metric_alertrule and azurerm_monitor_action_group separately. But I can't create an azurerm_metric_alertrule and point it at an action group (either the one created by terraform or an existing one). This seems like a huge oversight.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_metric_alertrule
• azurerm_monitor_action_group

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "azurerm_metric_alertrule" "test" {
  name = "${azurerm_virtual_machine.test.name}-cpu"
  resource_group_name = "${azurerm_resource_group.test.name}"
  location = "${azurerm_resource_group.test.location}"

  description = "An alert rule to watch the metric Percentage CPU"

  enabled = true

  resource_id = "${azurerm_virtual_machine.test.id}"
  metric_name = "Percentage CPU"
  operator = "GreaterThan"
  threshold = 75
  aggregation = "Average"
  period = "PT5M"

  email_action {
    send_to_service_owners = false
    custom_emails = [
      "[email protected]",
    ]
  }

  webhook_action {
    service_uri = "https://example.com/some-url"
      properties = {
        severity = "incredible"
        acceptance_test = "true"
      }
  }
}
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test" {
  name     = "monitoring-resources"
  location = "West US"
}

resource "azurerm_monitor_action_group" "test" {
  name                = "CriticalAlertsAction"
  resource_group_name = "${azurerm_resource_group.test.name}"
  short_name          = "p0action"

  email_receiver {
    name          = "sendtoadmin"
    email_address = "[email protected]"
  }

  email_receiver {
    name          = "sendtodevops"
    email_address = "[email protected]"
  }

  sms_receiver {
    name         = "oncallmsg"
    country_code = "1"
    phone_number = "1231231234"
  }

  webhook_receiver {
    name        = "callmyapiaswell"
    service_uri = "http://example.com/alert"
  }
}

Well, as it turns out I need this to support the new alert rules, not the classic ones.

Hi @mmclane , yes you are right. This involves a new resource called: Azure metric alert instead of the old alertrule resource. And we are currently working that new resource now.

cool

When I am trying to execute azurerm_monitor_metric_alert : It throws an error with Provider does not support this resource.. Could any one tell me please why this is happening ?

[JunyiYi]

Hi @mmclane @Kundan123456 , azurerm_monitor_metric_alert has been published just now in 1.17.0: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/r/monitor_metric_alert.html. Please have a try and feel free to give us feedback.

Hi @JunyiYi , now its working fine. Thanks for information.

One more thing, how to create multiple unique alerts with different dimensions in same template ? Just by copy and pasting same thing again and changing the dimension or do we have any shortcuts here ?

Anyone can share their ideas. Thanks.

Can anyone update above query...I am having same requirement, how to create multiple unique alerts with different Operators....in terraform Criteria... thanks.
This is the one Im trying read, write, delete Networksecuritygroup rule for Azure...

resource_id = "${azurerm_network_security_group.to_monitor.id}"
operation_name = "Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/securityRules/read"
category = "Administrative"
resource_type = "Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/securityRules"
}

criteria {
resource_id = "${azurerm_network_security_group.to_monitor.id}"
operation_name = "Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/securityRules/write"
category = "Administrative"
resource_type = "Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/securityRules"
}

@JunyiYi @tombuildsstuff - Could you please suggest a solution for above my requirement. thanks

[tombuildsstuff]

@baladevops you should be able to use a * to signify multiple sources such as Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/securityRules/*
