With my ARM template I want to create an automation account with a runbook and a shedule , so far so good. But if i want to connect my shedule to my runbook through the template I can't seem to find the working way to do this.
First try (working) : create automation account with a runbook and a shedule
"variables": {
"name": "StartAllVM",
"url": "https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Start-Azure-V2-VMs-6352312e/file/147007/1/Start-AzureV2VMs.ps1",
"version": "1.0.0.0",
"type": "PowerShell",
"description": "This PowerShell script runbook connects to Azure and starts all VMs in an Azure subscription or cloud service"
},
"resources": [
{
"name": "AutomationDev",
"type": "Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts",
"apiVersion": "2015-10-31",
"properties": {
"sku": {
"name": "Free"
}
},
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"tags": {},
"resources": [
{
"name": "[variables('name')]",
"type": "runbooks",
"apiVersion": "2015-01-01-preview",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/', 'AutomationDev')]"
],
"properties": {
"runbookType": "PowerShell",
"logProgress": false,
"logVerbose": true,
"publishContentLink": {
"uri": "[variables('url')]",
"version": "[variables('version')]"
}
}
},
{
"comments": "",
"type": "schedules",
"name": "shedule1",
"apiVersion": "2015-10-31",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/', 'AutomationDev')]",
"[variables('name')]"
],
"properties": {
"description": "VM Patch Automation Schedule",
"startTime": "06:00PM",
"expiryTime": "",
"isEnabled": true,
"interval": 1,
"frequency": "Week",
"timeZone": "UTC",
"advancedSchedule": {
"weekDays": [
"Monday"
]
}
}
}
]
}
]
Second try here i don't get errors but the shedule is not connected to the runbook
- I added "runbook": "variables('name')", to the shedule properties
third try (here i get errors that my dependes on is not right configured
i tried to add the shedule block inside a resource value of the runbook like this
{
"name": "[variables('name')]",
"type": "runbooks",
"apiVersion": "2015-01-01-preview",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/', 'AutomationDev')]"
],
"properties": {
"runbookType": "PowerShell",
"logProgress": false,
"logVerbose": true,
"publishContentLink": {
"uri": "[variables('url')]",
"version": "[variables('version')]"
}
},
"resources": [
{
"comments": "",
"type": "schedules",
"name": "shedule1",
"apiVersion": "2015-10-31",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/', 'AutomationDev' , variables('name'))]",
],
"properties": {
"description": "VM Patch Automation Schedule",
"runbook": "variables('name')",
"startTime": "06:00PM",
"expiryTime": "",
"isEnabled": true,
"interval": 1,
"frequency": "Week",
"timeZone": "UTC",
"advancedSchedule": {
"weekDays": [
"Monday"
]
}
}
}
]
}
The error i got is as followed:
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment : 16:43:44 - Error: Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation fai
led: 'The resource '/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Automa
tion/automationAccounts/AutomationDev/runbooks/StartAllVM/schedules/shedule1' at line '54' and column '17' doesn't depe
nd on parent resource '/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/xxx/providers/Microsoft.Aut
omation/automationAccounts/AutomationDev/runbooks/StartAllVM'. Please add dependency explicitly using the 'dependsOn' s
yntax. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template/#resources for usage details.'.
I have no clue which option is the right one, i think my third try is the right way to add a shedule to a runbook but i can't seem to find the right way to use the right depends on
[Edit]
Like the answers mentioned my depends on structure was not good , after I changed this I keep getting following error. And I am looking some time now for a solution but can't seem to find which resource they are mentioning that is missing I used following depends on :
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/runbooks', 'AutomationDev' , variables('name'))]"
And got this error.
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment : 9:03:47 - Resource Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/runbooks/schedules 'AutomationDev/StartAllVM/shedule1' failed with message '{
