ARM template webtest alertrule fails with ResourceNotFound - azure

Question

I have a Azure Resource Manager Template that is part of a set of nested templates. It creates a App Insights component, an alert rule against the website for forbidden requests, a multistep web test, and an alert rule against the web test. All the resources except the alert rule against the web test deploy successfully. I can go into the portal and create the alert against the test without issue after the deployment fails.

}
}
}
The deployment fails with:
"statusMessage": {
"Code": "ResourceNotFound",
"Message": "Exception of type 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring.MonitoringServiceException' was thrown."
},
This is just the first of many test that will go in this template and each deployment has 2 copies of the site. So manual alert rule creation isn't an option.

I think there is a problem with your resourceUri:
"resourceUri": "[concat(resourceGroup().id, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/', variables('frameworkWebSite'))]",
Give it a try with the resourceId() function:
"resourceUri": "[resourceId(resourceGroup().name, 'Microsoft.Web/sites', variables('frameworkWebSite'))]",
See resourceId() reference here.
Hope this helps.
