How to add userMetadata via arm template

[lczc1988]

Customer used this https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-azure-relay-create-hybridconnection arm template to create a hybrid connection.

He wanted to configure the userMetadata. Cx tried to add the parameters as below, but it is not added to Hybrid connection as expected. Any idea here? Thank you.

"userMetadata": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "userMetadata information" }

"userMetaData": "[parameters('userMetaData')]"

We can add the userMetadata via portal or in reources.azure.com.

@mandarj123 : I have used "userMetadata": "[concat('[{\"key\":\"endpoint\",\"value\":\"', parameters('hybid_endpoint_web'), '\"}]')]"

• hybrid_connection_web is name of hybrid connection which you can create using arm template

[mandarj123]

what does final value looks like? endpoint:abc.com:9399 can be a valid value ?

yes, you want to integrate hybrid connection with app service ? It has 2 steps - Create Hybrid connection in relay Integrate it with app service

For creating hybrid connection - { "name": "[concat(parameters('apiname'), '/', parameters('servicebus_name'), '/', parameters('hybid_connection_sql'))]", "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/hybridConnectionNamespaces/relays", "apiVersion": "2018-02-01", "dependsOn": [ "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/sites', parameters('apiname'))]" ], "location": "[parameters('location')]", "properties": { "serviceBusNamespace": "parameters('servicebus_name')", "relayName": " parameters('hybid_connection_sql')", "relayArmUri": "[variables('hybridConnectionResourceId')]", "hostName": "[split(json(reference(variables('hybridConnectionResourceId'), '2017-04-01').userMetadata)[0].value, ':')[0]]", "port": "[split(json(reference(variables('hybridConnectionResourceId'), '2017-04-01').userMetadata)[0].value, ':')[1]]", "sendKeyName": "defaultSender", "sendKeyValue": "[listkeys(concat(variables('hybridConnectionResourceId'), '/authorizationRules/defaultSender'), '2017-04-01').primaryKey]" }
}

where variable - "hybridConnectionResourceId": "[resourceId(parameters('resourcegroup'), 'Microsoft.Relay/Namespaces/Hybridconnections', parameters('servicebus_name'), parameters('hybid_connection_sql'))]"

parameter - hybid_connection_sql is name of hybrid connection for example sqlhybrid connection

"userMetadata": "[concat('[{"key":"endpoint","value":"', parameters('hybid_endpoint_sql'), '"}]')]" this template will pick endpoint from hybrid connection ( endpoint like you gave - abc.com:9399 )
