[azure-mgmt-monitor] Support for Metric Alerts

[prburgu]

Azure now has next generation metric alerts and the REST API is documented at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/monitor/metricalerts
It would be good to have SDK support for this. Is it in the works?

Hi @prburgu
Yes! You can try to preview client from this PR:
#2460

The preview client from the PR works great. I could successfully create alerts and received e-mail alerts. One issue I noticed is that, I could not edit those alerts from Azure Portal. Clicking on the alert in link Portal is giving broken cloud. May be an issue with Portal handling the alerts created through API.

Hi @prburgu
I'm closing your issue since it's a portal issue, but I forward your message to the Monitor team.
Thanks!
