Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts and child resources

[slavizh]

Describe the noise

Resource type (i.e. Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts) Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts

apiVersion (i.e. 2019-04-01) 2018-06-30

Client (PowerShell, Azure CLI, or API) PowerShell

Relevant ARM Template code (we only need the resource object for the above resourceType and apiVersion, but if it's easier you can include the entire template

Expected response (i.e. "I expected no noise since the template has not been modified since the resources were deployed)

• No change in automation account registration URL. Read only value
• No change in base64value of certificate. It is the same certificate
• No change in module import link and location
• No change in diagnostic settings category DscNodeStatus . That category is not in the template at all.
• No change in runbook import URI or version
• No change in type property of variables
• No change in workbook properties

Current (noisy) response (either include a screenshot of the what-if output, or copy/paste the text)

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

[shenglol]

The noise for Microsoft.Insights/diagnosticSettings is due to the fact that What-If is not able to handle partial PUT for arrays, which is tracked by #62.

I've fixed the other noise. [w33]

[alex-frankel]

The noise fix has been deployed. we will track the other issue with #62
