Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform v0.12.24
+ provider.azurerm v2.9.0

Affected Resource(s)

azurerm_monitor_metric_alert

Terraform Configuration Files

Example:

resource "azurerm_monitor_metric_alert" "mon_metric_alert" {
  name                = "AppService-diskSpace-Sev1"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.location1[0].name
  scopes              = ["/subscriptions/93888cb3-6d3e-4f81-806b-55a19356d689/resourceGroups/rg-company-vm-ad/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/vm-company-ad01",
                         "/subscriptions/93888cb3-6d3e-4f81-806b-55a19356d689/resourceGroups/rg-company-vm-adds/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/vm-company-vmdc01"]
  description         = "Disk space over 90 percent"
  window_size         = "PT6H"
  frequency           = "PT1H"

  criteria {
    metric_namespace = "Microsoft.Web/sites"
    metric_name      = "FileSystemUsage"
    aggregation      = "Average"
    operator         = "GreaterThan"
    threshold        = 241591910400 # 90% of 250Gb in bytes
  }
  severity         = 1
}

Debug Output

None

Panic Output

None

Expected Behavior

Create the metric alert for both scopes in the list.

Actual Behavior

Error message that only 1 item is supported for the scopes attribute.

Error: scopes: attribute supports 1 item maximum, config has 2 declared

  on ..\..\..\..\Modules\Azure\MON\MON_Metric_Alert\main.tf line 5, in resource "azurerm_monitor_metric_alert" "mon_metric_alert":
   5: resource "azurerm_monitor_metric_alert" "mon_metric_alert" {

But the scopes attribute is declared as " A set of strings of resource IDs at which the metric criteria should be applied."

Therefore, multiple values in the list must be possible.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Thank you for letting us know this issue 👍
This is a historical issue that Azure Go SDK doesn't support multiple scopes at the early version, so we added a max item limit to 1 to avoid the potential error. However, this is not the case for now.
There is already an issue #3719 to track to support multiple scopes, which you can subscribe to for any update. I hope you don't mind that I close this issue reducing duplication.
