NewRelic provider: How to pass policy_id parameter to NrqlAlertCondition

[saleemjaffer]

Expected Behavior

I am trying to create an NrqlAlertCondition. This requires a policy_id parameter.

Before creation of NrqlAlertCondition, I am creating an AlertPolicy. I should be able to pass id of the AlertPolicy to policy_id of NrqlAlertCondition

Actual Behavior

policy_id of NrqlAlertCondition accepts an int or float. The policy.id that we get from AlertPolicy is a string like ${TfToken[TOKEN.244]} and hence can't typecast and pass this to policy_id

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a NewRelic alert policy.
2. Create a NewRelic alert condition using the Id of the policy created in the previous step.

Hey, I think this page about Tokens might help you. You can typecast, it's just not the native language typecast but you have to use the typecast on the Token class, it has a bunch of static methods to get from type a to b.

@DanielMSchmidt I tried the same earlier, and I am getting huge negative numbers.
