Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

AzureRM 2.1,2.2. TF core 0.12.23

Affected Resource(s)

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

Terraform should create/update the SQL databases as normal. This issue happens specifically when using version 2.1 and greater of the AzureRM provider.

Note that we are not defining the extended_auditing_policy block anywhere in our TF code.

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new secondary database using terraform using the AzureRM provider (>2.1)

Execute 'terraform apply'

Important Factoids

References

support for the extended_auditing_policy property - added as of AzureRM 2.1.0

The error is output by the sql server itself. It seems the provider implicitly creates the auditing configuration, even if not specified and communicates it to the sql server, which fails.

hi @rohanvirmani, thanks for opening this issue. You could use azurerm_mssql_database temporarily. And we'll continue solving this problem.

This has been released in version 2.8.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.8.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
