Create Application Insights Alerts for all Resources

Question

Is there an easy way to add the same alerts to all resources withing Application Insights?

I'd like to create a server exception count/threshold alert, but don;t want to manually update 20+ AI resources.

Also, as rules and needs change it would be nice to be able to do something. I think ARM might provide a way to pull in the resources and then iterate over each of them creating the alerts. Any other ideas? Or tips?

You could use Azure Power Shell or Template to do this.

For template: You could check this template.

{
      "name": "[variables('responseAlertName')]",
      "type": "Microsoft.Insights/alertrules",
      "apiVersion": "2014-04-01",
      "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
      "dependsOn": [
        "[resourceId('Microsoft.Insights/components', variables('appInsName'))]"
      ],
      "tags": {
        "[concat('hidden-link:', resourceId('Microsoft.Insights/components', variables('appInsName')))]": "Resource"
      },
      "properties": {
        "name": "[variables('responseAlertName')]",
        "description": "response time alert",
        "isEnabled": true,
        "condition": {
          "$type": "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring.Alerts.Models.ThresholdRuleCondition, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Mon.Client",
          "odata.type": "Microsoft.Azure.Management.Insights.Models.ThresholdRuleCondition",
          "dataSource": {
            "$type": "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring.Alerts.Models.RuleMetricDataSource, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Mon.Client",
            "odata.type": "Microsoft.Azure.Management.Insights.Models.RuleMetricDataSource",
            "resourceUri": "[resourceId('microsoft.insights/components', variables('appInsName'))]",
            "metricName": "request.duration"
          },
          "threshold": "[parameters('responseTime')]",
          "windowSize": "PT5M"
        },
        "actions": [
          {
            "$type": "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring.Alerts.Models.RuleEmailAction, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Mon.Client",
            "odata.type": "Microsoft.Azure.Management.Insights.Models.RuleEmailAction",
            "sendToServiceOwners": true,
            "customEmails": []
          }
        ]
      }
    }

For PowerShell, you could use command Add-AzureRmLogAlertRule. For example:

Add-AzureRmLogAlertRule -Name "logRule" -Location "East US" -ResourceGroup "Default-Web-EastUS" -OperationName "Create" -TargetResourceId "/subscriptions/abbfb07c-6c93-40be-bc9b-4f0deba32f4c/resourceGroups/Default-Web-EastUS/providers/microsoft.web/sites/misitiooeltuyo" -Description "My log rule"
