unable to create alert using powershell Add-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 - azure

Question

I'm running into a weird issue here.
I'm trying to use powershell to create individual availbility alerts for all my storageaccounts.
My code is this
$storageaccounts= get-azstorageaccount |get-azresource
$criteria = New-AzMetricAlertRuleV2Criteria -MetricName "Availability" `
-TimeAggregation average `
-Operator lessthan `
-Threshold 100
foreach ($storageaccount in $storageaccounts){
Add-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 -Name "$storageaccount.Name availbility" `
-ResourceGroupName $RG.ResourceGroupName `
-WindowSize 00:05:00 `
-Frequency 00:01:00 `
-Description "Catching storageaccount availbility" `
-condition $criteria `
-ActionGroup $action `
-Severity 3 `
-TargetResourceId "$storageaccount.resourceid"
}
however I keep getting this error
Add-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 : Exception type: ErrorResponseException,
Message: Null/Empty, Code: Null, Status code:BadRequest, Reason phrase: Bad Request
I think the problem is due to
Add-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 -Name "$storageaccount.Name availbility"
if i put storageaccount.name into double quotation, i'm getting
Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Cmdlets.SdkModels.PSResource.Name
I also tried this
foreach ($storageaccount in $storageaccounts){
$sa=[string]$storageaccount.Name
Add-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 -Name "$sa availbility"
but still gives me the same error
How can i fix this?

There are two problems in the command that you are using:
Name: You can pass the name as: "$($storageaccount.StorageAccountName) availbility"
Resource Id: Resource Id which you want to pass is stored in the property "id" of storage account not the "resourceId".
Updated code:
Add-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 -Name "$($storageaccount.StorageAccountName) availbility" `
-ResourceGroupName $RG.ResourceGroupName `
-WindowSize 00:05:00 `
-Frequency 00:01:00 `
-Description "Catching storageaccount availbility" `
-condition $criteria `
-ActionGroup $action `
-Severity 3 `
-TargetResourceId $storageaccount.id
