microsoft.insights/components/ProactiveDetectionConfigs in arm template force to multiple deploy - azure

I'm deploying an ARM template that take care of creating an app service plan.
I've exported the template from the existing plan and parametrized for our needs.
sometimes we get several errors on deplying
microsoft.insights/components/ProactiveDetectionConfigs
the errors are of
Value cannot be null. Parameter name: componentEnv
if we retry many times the operations until all the ProactiveDetectionConfigs resources are deployed we can finally complete the deployment.
Currently we have the following resources
microsoft.insights/components
microsoft.insights/webtests
Microsoft.Portal/dashboards
Microsoft.Web/serverfarms
microsoft.insights/components/ProactiveDetectionConfigs
Microsoft.Web/sites
I cannot figure out if i'm not considering some dependencies (currently is dependent on microsoft.insights/components and Microsoft.Web/sites) or if that kind of resource is necessary at all
thanks

To deploy the ProactiveDetectionConfigs into ARM template use the below code in your template
{
"type": "Microsoft.Insights/components/ProactiveDetectionConfigs",
"apiVersion": "2018-05-01-preview",
"name": "string",
"location": "string",
"properties": {
"CustomEmails": [ "string" ],
"Enabled": "bool",
"RuleDefinitions": {
"Description": "string",
"DisplayName": "string",
"HelpUrl": "string",
"IsEnabledByDefault": "bool",
"IsHidden": "bool",
"IsInPreview": "bool",
"Name": "string",
"SupportsEmailNotifications": "bool"
},
"SendEmailsToSubscriptionOwners": "bool"
}
}
Check the ProactiveDetectionConfigs link for more information.

I had the same issue and it was transient. It worked fine in the next several deployments with no other changes.

Re-deploy Azure Web App Service and Plan using ARM Templates

I'm new to Azure and newer to using ARM templates.
I've got an App Service and Service Plan supporting Windows OS that needs to be changed to Linux. From what I can tell, there is no direct modification to achieve this result, I'm going to need to delete and redeploy.
I was looking at steps for manual deletion and re-build, but I'm thinking that using ARM templates would likely be more effective. I'm researching using ARM templates but not getting much information about using them for removal/modify/replacement. I'd guess that I can download the existing ARM templates and re-deploy, but there have to be a handful of gotchas, but I don't know what to look for.
My expectation is that the ARM template would not be able to deploy the custom domain and its certificate ready to go. Also, the existing template has references to snapshots that would likely be gone after deletion, so I'd expect to have to remove those references from the template prior to re-deploy.
Any guidance I can get would be greatly appreciated!
Per
One of the workaround you can follow ;
I'm researching using ARM templates but not getting much information
about using them for removal/modify/replacement
AFAIK, There is no direct command to delete the resources through which are deployed to Azure using ARM.
Instead of that you can use Azure cli as suggested in this SO THREAD,
Because after deployment there is still you can see in the deployment logs your resource are there you can delete from the portal itself.
After remove the app service from portal you can redeploy the same with adding your modifications.
We have tried after deploy the application and then remove/delete from portal as mentioned above and then re-deploy the app service with linux environment and its work fine.
You can make it use of below template(e.g):-
template.json
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",

ARM template for Azure Function ignores preWarmedInstanceCount setting

I'm deploying Azure function into Premium Function Plan (Elastic) using Azure powershell script:
New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $RESOURCE_GROUP -TemplateFile "function-app.json" -TemplateParameterObject $params -Name $APP_SERVICE_NAME -Mode Incremental > $null
And deployment ignores my preWarmedInstanceCount setting. Newly created function has Always Ready Instances = 0 (see screenshot)
ARM template of function:
{
"apiVersion": "2020-06-01",
"name": "[parameters('siteName')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
"identity": {
"type": "systemAssigned"
},
"kind": "functionapp",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"properties": {
"name": "[parameters('siteName')]",
"serverFarmId": "[resourceId(parameters('appServicePlanRg'),'Microsoft.Web/serverfarms',parameters('appServicePlanName'))]",
"clientAffinityEnabled": false,
"siteConfig": {
"use32BitWorkerProcess": false,
"preWarmedInstanceCount": 2,
"appSettings": [
{
"name": "FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION",
"value": "~3"
},
{
"name": "WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING",
"value": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=xxx..."
},
{
"name": "WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE",
"value": "asggas"
}
]
}
}
}
It seems to me few days ago it did worked properly and I managed to set that value via arm template and now I can only update it via Azure portal.
Here is ARM template of my hosting plan:
{
"type": "Microsoft.Web/serverfarms",
"apiVersion": "2018-02-01",
"name": "[parameters('appServicePlanName')]",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"properties": {
"name": "[parameters('appServicePlanName')]",
"workerSize": "1",
"numberOfWorkers": "1",
"maximumElasticWorkerCount": 20
},
"sku": {
"Tier": "ElasticPremium",
"Name": "EP2"
}
}
After some investigation I've come to "Activity Log" (after manual update on portal) screen and was surprised that my desired property is named as "minimumElasticInstanceCount" (it is not documented anywhere in either ARM API version https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.web/sites)
Then I added this field to my ARM template and all looks good for now. Also some explanation and difference between "Always Ready Instances"(minimumElasticInstanceCount) and "Pre-warmed instances"(preWarmedInstanceCount) are posted here: https://learn.microsoft.com/uk-ua/azure/azure-functions/functions-premium-plan
So in Azure Portal Pre-warmed instance setting is not displayed. And I was looking for another setting.
I have tried to replicate the issue and was able to figure out the issue here.
Instead of "preWarmedInstanceCount" try "reservedInstanceCount".
You can check from the Azure portal itself. Once you have updated the reserved instance count from the portal you can export the template :
Then compare your previous template with the exported one, you will be able to see the difference.

ARM Deployment error: Unable to freeze secondary namespace before creating pairing, this is probably because secondary namespace is not empty

I have two premium Service bus instances deployed manually through the azure portal. They don't have geo-recovery alias configured and the service bus instances have been operational for about a year.
Now, I'm trying automate the deployment process of these service bus instances and also add a georecovery alias resource to it as follows:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",

},

}
},
"serviceBusLocation": {
"type": "string"
},
"sku": {
"type": "object",
"defaultValue": "Standard"
},
"serviceBusTopicName": {
"type": "string"
},
"serviceBusSubscriptionName": {
"type": "string"
},
"isAliasEnabled": {
"type": "bool"
},
"isQueueCreationEnabled": {
"type": "bool"
},
"aliasName": {
"type": "string"
},
"partnerNamespace": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"variables": {
"defaultSASKeyName": "RootManageSharedAccessKey",
"authRuleResourceId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/authorizationRules', parameters('serviceBusNamespaceName'), variables('defaultSASKeyName'))]",
"sbVersion": "2017-04-01"
},
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2018-01-01-preview",
"name": "[parameters('serviceBusNamespaceName')]",
"type": "Microsoft.ServiceBus/Namespaces",
"location": "[parameters('serviceBusLocation')]",
"sku": {
"name": "[parameters('sku').name]",
"tier": "[parameters('sku').tier]",
"capacity": "[parameters('sku').capacity]"
},
"properties": {
"zoneRedundant": false
},
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2017-04-01",
"name": "[parameters('aliasName')]",
"type": "disasterRecoveryConfigs",
"condition": "[parameters('isAliasEnabled')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/', parameters('serviceBusNamespaceName'))]"
],
"properties": {
"partnerNamespace": "[parameters('partnerNamespace')]"
}
}
]
}
]
}
I'm using the same template to deploy the primary and secondary instances separately. Note that the disasterRecoveryConfigs resource will only be deployed when it's the primary instance.
This template successfully deploys the secondary namespace, but the primary namespace deployment fails with the following error:
Unable to freeze secondary namespace before creating pairing, this is
probably because secondary namespace is not empty.
Which is correct i.e. the secondary namespace has a couple of topics/subscriptions and queues already created. I don't want to delete them and just want to pair the primary and secondary namespaces.
How can this be done?
I had a similar issue with the Service Bus Geo-Recovery ARM Template. I read the exception closely; its state that the secondary namespace is not empty means we have to delete the topic and queue from the secondary namespace, then run the template again. It will work and create the topic and queue again based on the primary namespace.
But if you run the template a second time, you will get a different exception, which is that the secondary namespace cannot be updated (since it’s in geo-pairing). It’s strange, but by design, you cannot update the secondary namespace while it’s in Geo Pairing, and even if you remove Geo Pairing, your secondary namespace should be empty without any instances such as Topic, Queue, etc.
How to overcome this?
Lets consider, now I wanted to add the Topic or Queue in existing deployment by using the ARM template then, you will ran into the issue when your template is in the pipeline or anywhere and needs to run multiple times and update the existing primary namespace.
1. Quick Fix (one time only second time manually again you have to do the following steps)
Login to the Azure Portal
Go to the your primary Service bus Namespace
Click on the Geo-Recovery option under setting section
At the right hand side at the top find the option break pairing and
click on it.
It will break the pairing & if you not follow this step you will get the exception, Secondary Namespaces can not be updated
Next, delete the secondary Namespace instance or Namespace and run
the pipeline. it will work.
If you not follow above step then you will get error unable to freeze secondary Namespace.
The above is the one time fix, if you run template again you have to repeat above process manually again.
2. Automation using CI-CD DevOps Pipeline or CLI or PowerShell
The most of the time ARM templates runs in the pipeline and there is option to break the pairing using the Azure CLI or PowerShell. You should consider the adding two task in the YAML file
First Task, to break the Pairing
Azure CLI
az servicebus georecovery-alias break-pair --resource-group myresourcegroup --namespace-name primarynamespace --alias myaliasname
PowerShell
Set-AzureRmServiceBusGeoDRConfigurationBreakPair -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroup -Name $aliasname -Namespace $primarynamespace
Second Task, to delete the secondary namespace instances (topic,
Queue) or delete entire Namespace.
PowerShell
Remove-AzServiceBusNamespace -ResourceGroup Default-ServiceBus-WestUS -NamespaceName SB-Example1
To remove Topic or Queue instead of Namespace, refer the following documentation.
Azure Service Bus Management Common PowerShell commands
Also if you are running template locally, you can add small script or CLI command prior to run your template.
Does it affect on ConnectionString or Data after deleting Secondary Namespace or instances?
Its valid question, what will happens to the connection string or data since some clients are already using it, The answer is connection string wont be change if we delete the secondary namespace because in Geo recovery scenario we are supposed to be use alias connection string so there is no impact on existing customers.
Regarding the second question about the data, the answer is secondary namespace wont store any data it has only the meta data, meaning in the case of failover secondary namespace start working.
So during the deployment deleting secondary namespace instances or namespace wont impact on anything.
Is there any better option?
Might be you are thinking, why should I follow such a long process but the above problem because of the Geo Recovery design (service bus, event hub, event grid etc.) and there is no other option.
I hope Microsoft will come up with some better approach in the future.
If you try to create a pairing between a primary namespace with a private endpoint and a secondary namespace without a private endpoint, the pairing will fail.
You could refer to this template allows you to configure Service Bus Geo-disaster recovery alias.

arm template virtualNetworkName creation appendix issue

I am trying to get a arm template running and have hit an issue with the virtualnetwork creation.
azuredeploy.json
"virtualNetworkName": {
"type": "string",
"metadata": {
"description": "Name of virtual network to be created"
},
"defaultValue": "autohav2VNET"
},
vnet-net.json
"resources": [
{
"name": "[parameters('virtualNetworkName')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"apiVersion": "2015-06-15",
"properties": {
"addressSpace": {
"addressPrefixes": [
"[parameters('virtualNetworkAddressRange')]"
]
},
"subnets": "[parameters('subnets')]"
}
}
]
The issue I am getting is that the vnet gets created with an appendix such as this: autohav2VNETl5g
So when this gets used to create a loadblancer, the names doe not match the defined parameter and the creation fails.
..../virtualNetworks/AUTOHAV2VNET referenced by resource .... /Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/sqlLoadBalancer was not found.
Any suggestions?
with the data given it impossible to be sure why this is happening. you are probably passing in a value to the parameter virtualNetworkName. because if you wouldn't, than the vnet name would be: autohav2VNET.
ARM templates do not append anything anywhere just because they are arm templates. they only do what you designed them to do.
to help with debugging: how you are invoking the template and full template + full parameters file.

Unable to build string in ARM template

I am currently working on building a few templates for some of the basic deployments that I use daily and have them working except for the last piece. The issue is that i am using t-shirt sizing to choose a specific vhd as I am deploying and I can not see to get the syntax correct for the uri string.
I know the syntax to call the variable on its own but when I add it into the uri string, it fails.
[variables(‘vhd’)[parameters('version')]]
Parameter:
