"The metric names were not found" when deploying microsoft.insights/metricAlerts

I'm trying to deploy a MetricAlert with my Traffic Manager Profile and I always get { "Code": "BadRequest", "Message": "The metric names were not found ." }

I'm trying to use the Endpoint Status by Endpoint metric and having no luck. Any idea what the correct metric name would be or how I can find it?

Solution

  • The metrics documentation webpage which describes all of the built-in metrics can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/metrics-supported#microsoftnetworktrafficmanagerprofiles

    In this case, the key I was looking for was ProbeAgentCurrentEndpointStateByProfileResourceId
