Trying to set up diagnostic settings for an API arm template - azure

Question

I am new to ARM templates and I have the following issue:
I have an ARM template which creates an API Management service and I want this API Management service to use Log Analytics workspace in order to store it's logs there.
I have already created a log analytics workspace resource.
So, according to Microsoft documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/resource-manager-diagnostic-settings
the only thing I need to do is to edit the API management ARM template and include a new resource:
"type": "Microsoft.Insights/diagnosticSettings"
but when I do that, I get the following error:
"Values must be one of the following values......" getting a long long list.
Am I doing something wrong here?
thank you for your time!

If we want to create a diagnostic setting for an Azure API Management resource, we can add a resource of type Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/providers/diagnosticSettings to the template.
For example
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"publisherEmail": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1,
"metadata": {
"description": "The email address of the owner of the service"
},
"defaultValue": "test#gmail.com"
},
"publisherName": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1,
"metadata": {
"description": "The name of the owner of the service"
},
"defaultValue": "test",
},
"sku": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "Developer",
"allowedValues": [
"Developer",
"Standard",
"Premium"
],
"metadata": {
"description": "The pricing tier of this API Management service"
}
},
"skuCount": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "1",
"allowedValues": [
"1",
"2"
],
"metadata": {
"description": "The instance size of this API Management service."
}
},
"location": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"metadata": {
"description": "Location for all resources."
}
}
},
"variables": {
"apiManagementServiceName": "[concat('myapiservice', uniqueString(resourceGroup().id))]"
},
"resources": [{
"type": "Microsoft.ApiManagement/service",
"apiVersion": "2019-12-01",
"name": "[variables('apiManagementServiceName')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"sku": {
"name": "[parameters('sku')]",
"capacity": "[parameters('skuCount')]"
},
"properties": {
"publisherEmail": "[parameters('publisherEmail')]",
"publisherName": "[parameters('publisherName')]"
}
}, {
"type": "Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/providers/diagnosticSettings",
"apiVersion": "2017-05-01-preview",
"name": "[concat(variables('apiManagementServiceName'), '/Microsoft.Insights/', 'mytest')]",
"dependsOn": ["[resourceId('Microsoft.ApiManagement/service', variables('apiManagementServiceName'))]"],
"properties": {
"logs": [{
"category": "GatewayLogs",
"enabled": true,
}
],
"metrics": [{
"enabled": true,
"category": "AllMetrics"
}
],
"workspaceId": "<the resource id of workspace>",
}
}
]
}
