I wanted to automate the enable and disable of a Metric Alert Rule and I figured using a Logic App would be a great way to do so. I'm having trouble with the updating of the enabled property.

I can use the Logic App to get / view the alert fine.

{
    "definition": {
        "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",
        "actions": {
            "Create_or_update_a_resource": {
                "inputs": {
                    "host": {
                        "connection": {
                            "name": "@parameters('$connections')['arm']['connectionId']"
                        }
                    },
                    "method": "get",
                    "path": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/ace-vm/providers/microsoft.insights/metricalerts%2FVM%20Availability",
                    "queries": {
                        "x-ms-api-version": "2018-03-01"
                    }
                },
                "runAfter": {},
                "type": "ApiConnection"
            }
        },
.....

But when I attempt to patch the metric alert, setting enabled from true to false, I now receive a 404 error

{
    "definition": {
        "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",
        "actions": {
            "Create_or_update_a_resource": {
                "inputs": {
                    "host": {
                        "connection": {
                            "name": "@parameters('$connections')['arm']['connectionId']"
                        }
                    },
                    "body": {
                        "properties": {
                            "enabled": false
                        }
                    },
                    "method": "patch",
                    "path": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/ace-vm/providers/microsoft.insights/metricalerts%2FVM%20Availability",
                    "queries": {
                        "x-ms-api-version": "2018-03-01"
                    }
                },
                "runAfter": {},
                "type": "ApiConnection"
            }
        },

The Error

{
    "statusCode": 404,
    "headers": {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, POST",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
        "Access-Control-Max-Age": "3600",
        "Access-Control-Expose-Headers": "*",
        "Date": "Thu, 09 Nov 2023 22:23:34 GMT",
        "Content-Length": "54",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "body": {
        "statusCode": 404,
        "message": "Resource not found"
    }
}

I also had similar results with "Resources - Update By Id" and API version 2021-04-01
