Quickstart templates

The following quickstart templates deploy this resource type.

Template Description
Creates a new Microsoft Sentinel Scheduled Analytics Rule

Deploy to Azure
This sample shows how to create a new scheduled analytics rule in Microsoft Sentinel

Terraform (AzAPI provider) resource definition

The alertRules resource type is an extension resource, which means you can apply it to another resource.

Use the parent_id property on this resource to set the scope for this resource.

For a list of changed properties in each API version, see change log.

Resource format

To create a Microsoft.SecurityInsights/alertRules resource, add the following Terraform to your template.

resource "azapi_resource" "symbolicname" {
  type = "Microsoft.SecurityInsights/alertRules@2022-01-01-preview"
  name = "string"
  parent_id = "string"
  // For remaining properties, see alertRules objects
  body = jsonencode({
    kind = "string"
    etag = "string"
  })
}
