Question

I know this is very esoteric but does anyone have any experience importing a Diagnostic Setting on an App Insights component in an existing stack

little-apartment-30401 · Answer

Or I guess a Diagnostic Setting anywhere

I ve been fighting with it off and on for a little while now the commands in the documentation don t seem to work Pulumi always says it can t find the resource but will also tell me it can t create a resource with the same name either because it already exists

I m sure I m just doing something naive but I can t find any other examples online anywhere

I managed to get it to work just now by removing the `Metrics` section

icy-doctor-13719 · Answer

okay i think i understand now I deleted all my diagnostic collectors that I had manually created and then was able to create through Pulumi The reason why it worked for me when I removed AllMetrics is because AllMetrics is probably already being collected elsewhere When I tried to create a new Diagnostic Setting pointing to the same sink I got this error ``` lt resource gt is already used in diagnostic setting FrontDoor for category FrontDoorAccessLog Data sinks can t be reused in different settings on the same category for the same resource ```

icy-doctor-13719 · Answer

after i created the initial resource i was able to add the `AllMetrics` block to pulumi and then it magically worked with logs and metrics
