title: Alert rule in Azure ARM template not enabled in web test
body: <p>I am using an ARM template to programmatically create an Application Insights web test and alert rule. The ARM template is based on <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-powershell/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Both the web test and the alert rule are created, but the <strong>Alerts</strong> property of the web test is disabled. The alert rule is listed on the <strong>Alert rules</strong> blade, however not in the <strong>Webtests</strong> section, but in the <strong>Others</strong> section, see picture:</p>

  <p>What am I missing in order to get a web test with an enabled alert?</p>
  
  <p>ARM template (the value of <code>WebTest</code> property was removed by SO):</p>
