Description

Log analytics workspace are now soft-deleted every time you terraform destroy it. For some cases we'd need a reliable way to destroy it and be able to create it with the same name.
Documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/delete-workspace#permanent-workspace-delete

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_log_analytics_workspace

Potential Terraform Configuration

I imagine this being part of the provider features{} block similar to key_vault block.

provider "azurerm" {
  features {
    log_analytics_workspace {
         purge_soft_delete_on_destroy = true
    }
  }
}

Any update on this?

The workaround we found is to use a random_integer for the log analytics workspace.
