Resource Manager - JSON having multiple alerts fails - azure

Question

I use below JSON to create AI alert, which works fine. However when I try to add add multiple alerts in this JSON file, it creates few alerts, sometimes one and other times two or three and finally returns provisioning state as Failed. It never creates all the alerts in the JSON (six).

Are you using PowerShell for deployment - if so, add the -debug switch to the New-AzureResourceGroup* command and sift through the output. The raw error from the platform is in there and it's usually pretty good. If that doesn't help, can you post the entire json template for the deployments that are failing?
