In my effort to get better with Azure ARM Templates I encountered the following error in one of my deployments:
|
1 2 3 |
Validation returned the following errors: The template deployment 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'. See inner errors for details. |
To get a more verbose version of the error you can execute the following cmdlet:
|
1 2 3 |
Get-AzLog ` -CorrelationId XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX ` -Verbose |
Make sure to include -Verbose otherwise you won’t get the details you need to troubleshoot the error.
Navigate to the Properties section of the output and you’ll find find a much more helpful error message:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
statusCode : BadRequest serviceRequestId: statusMessage : {"error":{"code":"InvalidTemplateDeployment","message":"The template deployment 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'. See inner errors for details.","details":[{"code":"PreflightValidationCheckFailed","message":"Preflight validation failed. Please refer to the details for the specific errors.","details":[{"code":"AccountNameInvalid","target":"XXX-st","message":"XXX-st is not a valid storage account name. Storage account name must be between 3 and 24 characters in length and use numbers and lower-case letters only."}]}]}} eventCategory : Administrative |
I had a dash in my storage account name, which is a big no-no.
Thanks to Thomas Thortnon and his post AzureRM Deployment Fails: See inner errors for details for pointing me in the right direction.
Hopefully this saves you some time troubleshooting!
