The Azure RM template deployment is not valid. See inner errors for details.

When you test your ARM template using PowerShell or other techniques  before the deployment, you can receive an error: “The template deployment ‘xxxx-xxx-xxx’ is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is ‘xxxx-xxxx-xxxx’. See inner errors for details.”, and then you may ask yourself – “how to get that inner errors for details?”.

The following PS one-liner can rescue you:

(Get-AzLog -CorrelationId trackingIDhere).Properties.Content.Values

arm template deployment error

If you don’t have Az module installed, you may use Azure RM module and cmdlet Get-AzureRMLog with the same parameters as for Get-AzLog.

TIP: If you are not familiar with Azure Services, I’d highly recommend you to purchase pBook or download FREE ebook “Learn Azure in a Month Of Lunches” that I reviewed a few months ago. It’s a great all-in-one guide to get started with almost everything in Azure.

Happy learning and good luck with the exams!
