I'm creating an Azure Resource Manager template that instantiates multiple resources.
I'd like to be able to capture the primary connection strings of
Redis , AzureWebJobsDashboard, AzureWebJobsStorage and AzureWebJobsServiceBus.
Use the listkeys helper function.
"appSettings": [
{
"name": "STORAGE_KEY",
"value": "[listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageAccountName')), providers('Microsoft.Storage', 'storageAccounts').apiVersions[0]).keys[0].value]"
}
]
This quickstart does something similar:
I don’t see what’s wrong with what you’re doing. In my view Resource Manager templates in their nature are incremental. So you could author a template to create your existing service bus with the same resources. If the properties are the same then it will leave the existing resources intact and return you the connection string and primary key of the relevant resource.
I have a need to automate the creation of a service bus and queue and separate send/listen shared access policies. You can retrieve the connection string on the service bus itself using PowerShell natively without using the .Net ServiceBus.dll assembly by using Get-AzureSBAuthorizationRule but due to a still current bug this doesn’t work at the queue level.
I tried using the ServiceBus.dll to create the shared access policies but sometimes it would randomly fail but subsequently work if you ran it a second time immediately afterwards. I also tried Resource Manager templates but previously you had to pass in the keys you’d generated yourself. Now I see Microsoft generate those for you but you’re still left trying to get the key in an automated fashion so I like your solution.
One question though, can you capture the Resource Manager template outputs and pass them back to a PowerShell script, do you know?

} } }
But I call my templates like this:
New-AzureRMResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TemplateFile "$scripts_folder$SB_create_script" -TemplateParameterObject ` @{ servicebusNamespace = $servicebusNamespace; notificationssmsqueue = $NotificationSMSqueue }
Best Answer
According to your description, I suggest you could use the ARM Template Function
ListKeys
to get the Keys. And we could use the following template code to set the connection string.Here is a demo I capture the Redis, Storage, Service Bus connectionstring and add it to the web application settings.
Since AzureWebJobsDashboard, AzureWebJobsStorage is storage connection string, AzureWebJobsServiceBus is service Bus root manager connection string.
So in my template, I directly get the connection string according to the storage and service bus name.
1.Create Basic Azure Resource Group project with template WebApp
2.From demo remove the unnecessary resource.
3.Add the connection string setting
4.Add the corresponding parameters or variables such as storage info or service bus name.
5.Deploy the template
The result is as below:
