I am creating application insights with new metric rules. I was previously using classic alerts and was working fine before sep 1, 2019. I want to adopt to new alerts so I am modifying my arm template below:

My parameter file is-

I am getting error-
"Code": "BadRequest", "Message": "Arm resource /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/abc-def-ghi-jkl/providers/Microsoft.Insights/actionGroups/abc is invalid."
My Resource group is already existing and I am using Az Cli (Version 2.0.64) and below command to create the resource-
az group deployment create --name 'test' --resource-group 'abc-def-ghi-jkl' --template-file azuredeploy.json --parameters azuredeploy.parameter.json --verbose --debug
However the resources are provisioned when I hardcode the part in template-
"actions": [
{
"actionGroupId": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/abc-def-ghi-jkl/providers/Microsoft.Insights/actionGroups/test0"
}
]
I am not getting any clue why is it throwing an error when I am parameterising it. I took reference for ARM template from here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.insights/2018-03-01/metricalerts
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions.
I understood later that the action group needs to be added at first and then only it can be linked to some other resource. So I added another resource actiongroup and then I was able to create app insight without any problem. Yeah, The only thing you should take care is AG short name shouldn't exceed 12 characters.
Here is the ARM template -
