Azure Workbook ARM Template

Question

Hi,

I wanted to know is there any ARM template for Azure Workbook?
I want to create a Workbook through ARM template not through the portal.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can deploy workbooks from ARM templates, this may be of use if you’ve not stumbled across it already:

example ARM template: https://github.com/microsoft/Application-Insights-Workbooks/blob/master/Documentation/ARM-template-for-creating-workbook-template

Further info:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/workbooks-automate#arm-template-for-deploying-a-workbook-template

Alternatively there’s quite a lot of already made workbooks out there in the Azure Monitor workbook repository for you to use or customise for your needs:

https://github.com/microsoft/Application-Insights-Workbooks/tree/master/Workbooks

Answer 2

If you're looking for a good example of this, checkout the Azure Quickstart Templates repo; https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/microsoft.costmanagement/optimization-workbook

You'll reference the json document for your workbook layout, and deploy using the Microsoft.Insights/workbooks@2022-04-01 resource provider.

var workbookJson = string(loadJsonContent('workbook.json'))

resource workbook 'Microsoft.Insights/workbooks@2022-04-01' = {
  name: guid(resourceGroup().id, 'Microsoft.Insights/workbooks', displayName)
  location: location
  tags: tags
  kind: 'shared'
  properties: {
    category: 'workbook'
    description: description
    displayName: displayName
    serializedData: workbookJson
    sourceId: 'Azure Monitor'
    version: version
  }
}
