Reported Issue:
Old issue fixed in past similar to this issue

• The customer encountered an issue while creating an Azure Stream Analytics output using Azure CLI.

• The error message received was: "Feature or property 'CosmosDB Output Managed Identity' is not supported in API version 2020-03-01. Please use API version 2021-10-01-preview.
  lakshmi [ ~ ]$ az stream-analytics output create --job-name asatest --resource-group az_policy_ty474_asa --output-name cosmosdb --datasource output_cosmosdb_msi.json --serialization serialization.json
  Preview version of extension is disabled by default for extension installation, enabled for modules without stable versions.
  Please run 'az config set extension.dynamic_install_allow_preview=true or false' to config it specifically.
  The command requires the extension stream-analytics. Do you want to install it now? The command will continue to run after the extension is installed. (Y/n): y
  Run 'az config set extension.use_dynamic_install=yes_without_prompt' to allow installing extensions without prompt.
  (BadRequest) Feature or property 'CosmosDB Output Managed Identity' is not supported in API version 2020-03-01. Please use API version 2021-10-01-preview.
  Code: BadRequest
  Message: Feature or property 'CosmosDB Output Managed Identity' is not supported in API version 2020-03-01. Please use API version 2021-10-01-preview.

• The problem appears specific to the CLI, as the customer can perform the operation successfully through the Azure portal (UX).

• The Stream Analytics job location is West Europe.

Cause Determined

• The issue is related to a mismatch between the API version used by the Azure CLI Stream Analytics command and the API version required for the Cosmos DB Output Managed Identity feature.

Advised to create GitHub item: [Stream Analytics] Migrate az stream-analytics input to AAZ by huiii99 · Pull Request #10031 · Azu…, where the issue was fixed.

Short summary about the issue:

How it started:
Customer has a policy that will deny the creation of Input/Output with ConnectionString auth type. This policy was working only when the Input/Output were created manually from Portal, but when created using CLI commands, the policy was not triggered.

   2. After the CLI team fixed this issue, when customer was trying to deploy a SQLServer Output with MI (Managed Identity) auth, the CLI command was throwing an error like:

"
(BadRequest) Feature or property 'SQL Reference Input Managed Identity' is not supported in API version 2020-03-01. Please use API version 2021-10-01-preview.
Code: BadRequest
"

Now:
Customer is reporting the same (BadRequest) error for other types of Outputs:

Service Bus Queue output with Managed Identity.
Service Bus Topic output with Managed Identity.
Azure Synapse output.
Azure Data Explorer output.
Azure Cosmos DB output with Managed Identity.

I was able to reproduce for some of them:

For CosmosDB:

JSON Definition

(saved in "CosmosDbOutputDefinition.json" file)

{
"type": "Microsoft.Storage/DocumentDB",
"properties": {
"collectionNamePattern": "1",
"accountId": "babocosmosnosql",
"accountKey": null,
"database": "Transactional",
"authenticationMode": "Msi"
}
}

CLI Command

az stream-analytics output create --output-name cosmosOutput-cli256
--job-name baboasawe --resource-group ASA_rg
--subscription 65dc4858-8a91-4496-8faf-9568b7a878d5 --datasource "@CosmosDbOutputDefinition.json"

#######

Result:

For Synapse:

JSON Definition

(saved in "SynapseOutputDefinition.json" file)

{
"type": "Microsoft.Sql/Server/DataWarehouse",
"properties": {
"table": "babogdan",
"server": "babosynapsewe.sql.azuresynapse.net",
"database": "testPool",
"user": null,
"authenticationMode": "Msi"
}
}

CLI Command

az stream-analytics output create --output-name SynapseOutput-cli256
--job-name baboasawe --resource-group ASA_rg
--subscription 65dc4858-8a91-4496-8faf-9568b7a878d5 --datasource "@SynapseOutputDefinition.json"

#######

Result:

Same apply to all bellow Output types, when using Managed Identity:

Service Bus Queue,
Service Bus Topic,
Azure Data Explorer

Since this is a new API version, might impact all other Input / Output types.

Output types in Stream Analytics:

And Input types:

Perhaps CLI team should work with ASA Team to make sure this issue is resolved for all Input and Output types.
