Unable to move resources from one subscription to another

Question

Hi! When performing a resource move from one subscription to another (same client), I receive the following error:

Resource move is not supported for resource types 'microsoft.insights/metricalerts, microsoft.insights/activityLogAlerts'. 

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Hi @Stavros ,

exactly that's the way to go: You have to delete the"non-movable" resources, move the "movable" resources and re-create the "non-movable/deleted" resources.

There is no other way, Really sorry.

At "Move operation support for resources" you will find the "troublemaker resources" in the Microsoft.Insights section.

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Before migration, review the supported resources at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-support-resources

Thanks Vahid, I saw the document. Yes, I can’t transfer these resources. I don't understand what to do. In the resource group that I want to migrate, there are many other resources that I cannot migrate due to these "non-portable" resources. It turns out that I need to delete them first, transfer the rest and re-create them in a new subscription?
