CosmosDB throws Unknown service error #241

TsuyoshiUshio · 2017-08-12T07:11:36Z

Hi there,

I encounter the error when I deploy Cosmos DB. It might be very basic configuration. However, it says Unknow service error I have no clue to fix this.

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.10.0

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

azurerm_cosmosdb_account

Terraform Configuration Files

# Service Principle
variable "subscription_id" {
}

variable "client_id" {
}

variable "client_secret" {
}

variable "tenant_id" {
}

# Resource Group

variable "resource_group" {

}

variable "location" {

}

variable "environment" {

}

variable "cosmos_db_name" {
}


provider "azurerm" {
  # Service Principle
  subscription_id = "${var.subscription_id}"
  client_id       = "${var.client_id}"
  client_secret   = "${var.client_secret}"
  tenant_id       = "${var.tenant_id}"
}

# Create a resource group
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test" {
  name     = "${var.resource_group}"
  location = "${var.location}"
    tags {
        environment = "${var.environment}"
    }
}

# Cosmos DB

resource "azurerm_cosmosdb_account" "test" {
   name                =   "${var.cosmos_db_name}"
   location            =   "${azurerm_resource_group.test.location}"
   resource_group_name =   "${azurerm_resource_group.test.name}"
   offer_type          =   "Standard"
   consistency_policy {
       consistency_level = "Session"
   }

   failover_policy {
       location        =   "East US"
       priority        =   0
   }

   tags {
       environment = "${var.environment}"
   }
}

Debug Output

Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status=400 Code="Unknown" Message="Unknown service error"

Expected Behavior

It should be create a CosmosDB (DocumentDB) instance on Azure

Actual Behavior

The error cause. we can see empty Resource Group.

Steps to Reproduce

Hey @TsuyoshiUshio

Thanks for opening this issue

So that we can look into this further would it be possible to know which Region you're attempting to deploy the CosmosDB instance into (i.e. the value of var.location)?

Thanks!

maniSbindra · 2017-08-14T10:45:48Z

@tombuildsstuff I tried running the sample provided by @TsuyoshiUshio and got the same error"Message=Unknown service error" for location values "westus" and "centralus". I did not try for any other locations

tombuildsstuff · 2017-08-14T18:45:22Z

Hey @maniSbindra / @TsuyoshiUshio

Using the following configuration I'm able to successfully deploy a CosmosDB instance - would you mind confirming if this works for you?

In addition - have you deployed a CosmosDB/DocumentDB Account into this Azure Subscription + Region previously? I'm trying to isolate if this is related to a missing Resource Provider registration (which will be added into the next release of the AzureRM Provider) or if this is specific to these regions?

variable "environment" {
  default = "test"
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test" {
  name     = "tharvey-dev"
  location = "west europe"
    tags {
        environment = "${var.environment}"
    }
}

resource "azurerm_cosmosdb_account" "test" {
   name                =   "tharvey-cosmos"
   location            =   "${azurerm_resource_group.test.location}"
   resource_group_name =   "${azurerm_resource_group.test.name}"
   offer_type          =   "Standard"
   consistency_policy {
       consistency_level = "Session"
   }

   failover_policy {
       location        =   "East US"
       priority        =   0
   }

   tags {
       environment = "${var.environment}"
   }
}

Thanks!

@tombuildsstuff I need to double check this again, but I created a Azure cosmosdb account from the portal in centralus, after doing this my terraform apply failed with regions westus, eastus (same unknown service error), but succeeded for location centralus.

TsuyoshiUshio · 2017-08-16T07:53:00Z

@tombuildsstuff I tried my terraform.tf on West US. Today, I tried your terraform.tf. It works both on west europe and west us. Also, it works on my script as well. Hmm. Something has changed on the Azure side? Anyway, thank you for your help.

tombuildsstuff · 2017-08-16T09:30:42Z

Hey @TsuyoshiUshio

Something has changed on the Azure side?

I'm unaware of any changes there, but possibly - I think it's more likely this is the missing Resource Provider registration which will be fixed in the next release. Regardless it's good to hear that this is now working again :)

@maniSbindra @TsuyoshiUshio out of interest, have you been using CosmosDB/DocumentDB back when it was available in Preview/less regions than today? I'm wondering if this is the Resource Provider registration being exposed in manor I've not seen before. If you've got the Azure CLI 2.0 installed, would you mind showing me the output of this command?

$ az provider show --namespace "Microsoft.DocumentDB"

which I'm hoping should show something similar too:

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/XXXX/providers/Microsoft.DocumentDB",
  "namespace": "Microsoft.DocumentDB",
  "registrationState": "Registered",
  "resourceTypes": [
    {
      "aliases": null,
      "apiVersions": [
        "2016-03-31",
        "2016-03-19",
        "2015-11-06",
        "2015-04-08",
        "2014-04-01"
      ],
      "locations": [
        "Australia East",
        "Australia Southeast",
        "Canada Central",
        "Canada East",
        "Central India",
        "Central US",
        "East Asia",
...

Thanks!

Also, I realize one difference between last time and now. I usually stay in Japan. However, at that time, I was staying in Redmond.

Hi, We've been having the same issue and then realised that the db name need to be globally unique. which fixed the error for us.

tombuildsstuff · 2018-05-17T22:23:03Z

This is likely that the name being used is in use - we should change this to check if the name exists
