This template will help you quickly spin up any number of Application Insights web tests and setup email alerts. The parameters file takes any number of test descriptor objects. These objects look like the following:

{
    "name": "test1",
    "url": "http://www.microsoft.com",
    "expected": 200,
    "frequency_secs": 300,
    "timeout_secs": 30,
    "failedLocationCount": 1,
    "description": "a description for test1",
    "guid": "cc1c4b95-0a39-48ce-9c7b-fa41f0fc0bee",
    "locations": [{
        "Id": "us-il-ch1-azr"
	 }]
}

The guid field is an arbitrary guid for the test. The locations field is a collection of locations to perform the test from. Here is a table of the valid locations, and their corresponding Id code. Due to historical reasons, the Id code sometimes does not match the actual location where the webtest is occurring.

Name	Id
North Central US	us-il-ch1-azr
West US	us-ca-sjc-azr
South Central US	us-tx-sn1-azr
East US	us-va-ash-azr
Central US	us-fl-mia-edge
Southeast Asia	apac-sg-sin-azr
UK West	emea-se-sto-edge
UK South	emea-ru-msa-edge
West Europe	emea-nl-ams-azr
Japan East	apac-jp-kaw-edge
North Europe	emea-gb-db3-azr
East Asia	apac-hk-hkn-azr
France Central	emea-fr-pra-edge
France Central (Formerly France South)	emea-ch-zrh-edge
Brazil South	latam-br-gru-edge
Australia East	emea-au-syd-edge

You can create any number of these test descriptors and pass them in as the parameter for tests as shown in the parameters file.
