    }
  ]
}

And the parameters file is:

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "accountName": {
      "value": "test-dev-automation113"
    },
    "workspaceregionId": {
      "value": "West Europe"
    },
    "regionId": {
      "value": "West Europe"
    },
    "pricingTier": {
      "value": "Free"
    },
    "recipients": {
      "value": "[email protected]"
    },
      "workspaceName": {
          "value": "test-dev-oms113"
      }
  }
}

Before deploying the template I had created Log Analytics called "test-dev-automation113" and Automaion Account called "test-dev-automation113" Any advice why it doesn't work is much appreciated.

I see that alerts are being created in the old OMS Portal. But how can I create them in the new Azure Portal?WinBoss
