    Hi Gourav,

     

    The cmdlet you are using is for classic metric alerts in Azure Monitor. Classic metric alerts didn't support action groups and used a custom notification mechanism. 

    We don't yet have PowerShell cmdlets for newer metric alerts. We are actively working on those and will provide an announcement once they are ready. 

     

    In the meanwhile, if you are trying to create metric alerts, you can use Azure CLI to automate creating alerts. You can also create action groups through CLI as well. 

     

     

    If you trying to create log alerts based on Kusto queries, today the only way to automate it is through ARM templates. The PS cmdlets and CLI are being worked  on, but are not available yet.

     

    Regards,
    Snehith

Hi, This community space is mainly about Log Analytics and not alerts, but I've sent your message to the alerting team. They will reply here or send me their answer and I'll post it.

        Hi Snehith,

        Do you have any EDT on the Powershell cmdlets for the new metric alerts? Or is there maybe any reference of a related issue / ticket which we could subscribe to?

        It seems kind of inconvenient situation when we're getting notifications in portal about classic alerts being retired soon and suggestion to use new ones. We would be happy to do that. At the same time we don't have an alternative for Powershell cmdlets which we are using for classic alerts at the moment.
