title: Azure ARM template schema/documentation for setting up alerts on Database Pools
body: <p>I can’t find the documentation for the name of events/metrics that can be defined through ARM template to set up alerts on a SQL Elastic Database Pool. For example, I am guessing "EdtuPercentage" is the logical name for that metric but would like to know where to look it up. I can’t find alerts created on the portal on the ARM Explorer either. I appreciate any help!</p>
