Error when trying to Create Function on Azure: OperationalInsights

[pamelafox]

I am trying to follow the tutorial steps here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/create-first-function-vs-code-python#publish-the-project-to-azure

However, each time I do it, I get this error:

I followed the link to the page about errors, but this particular error isn't listed there, and I'm not sure how to resolve the lack of access to OperationalInsights, since I'm not quite sure what those are.

I also notice that my portal has successfully created application service plans each time I run through the process (so I assume the error happens after the creation of those plans):

@pamelafox Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This is happening because the namespace Microsoft.OperationalInsights needs to be registered as a provider available to your subscription.

We usually do this for users automatically here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurefunctions/blob/main/src/utils/azure.ts#L69-L78

We recently started creating Log Analytics workspaces for users in the creation process, but we didn't realize that this has a different namespace that we should have registered.

The easiest workaround to this is to create a Log Analytics workspace in the Azure Portal.

I was also able to workaround it by registering the provider with AZ CLI from command line:

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.OperationalInsights

Thanks for working on a fix!
