Preparing Sentinel Content and ARM Template Files

Question

I am preparing Sentinel content (a dataConector) as outlined in the steps (from "\sentinel_with_ContentHub\Azure-Sentinel\Solutions\readme.md")shown in the below picture. Could you please confirm my understanding? Thank you in advance!

1. In Step #1, do I only need to prepare the data connector related resources in JSON format files without concerning with the deployment framework?

1. After the PR is validated, will the ARM template files (mainTemplate.json and createUIDefinition.json) be automatically generated? Additionally, at that point (step #2), can I manually modify or add extra details such as '"outputs": { blahblahblah }' and other elements to the deployment Template JSON?

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A, PFB answers to your queries:

• In Step #1, do I only need to prepare the data connector related resources in JSON format files without concerning with the deployment framework?

  Yes, you just need the data connector related resources in JSON format files, deployment package contains all the template files needed for this plan, as well as any additional resources, packaged as a .zip file.

• After the PR is validated, will the ARM template files (mainTemplate.json and createUIDefinition.json) be automatically generated? Additionally, at that point (step #2), can I manually modify or add extra details such as '"outputs": { blahblahblah }' and other elements to the deployment Template JSON? No, this will part of solution template which would contain Deployment package
