Question

Windows Azure Monitor Agent documents are out-of-date

Hi,

I found the related MS documentations are kind of out-of-date.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/vm/send-event-hubs-storage
The configuring scripts are not well maintained. Here below are part of the scripts

``

{ "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0", "parameters": { "location": { "type": "string", "defaultValue": "[resourceGroup().location]", "metadata": { "description": "Location for all resources." } }, "dataCollectionRulesName": { "defaultValue": "[concat(resourceGroup().name, 'DCR')]", "type": "String" }, ... ...

``

You see there are "type": "string" and "type": "String". The "type": "String" triggers syntax errors in VSCode based on official ARM template checker from MS. Would you please update the scripts, and give developers the most out-to-date scripts?

Regards,

Ye

@Ye Deng

The schema version specified in the ARM template is primarily used for validation and tooling support in environments like the Azure Portal. However, Microsoft recommends using the latest schema version when authoring templates in tools such as Visual Studio Code to ensure compatibility with the latest features and improved IntelliSense support.
