  • 2 minute read

Configure the Azure Event Hubs data source to let the adapter connect to your Event Hubs namespace, read events from the selected consumer group, and track progress with checkpoint storage.

Required parameters

The following parameters are required to configure the Azure Event Hubs data source:

Parameters

Description

Event Hub Namespace Connection String

The connection string for the Event Hub namespace.

Blob Storage Connection String

The Azure Blob Storage account connection string used to save event hub checkpoints.

Consumer Group Name

The consumer group name that the adapter should use to establish a connection with Azure Event Hub.

Note: The maximum allowed value for this parameter is 246 characters.

Checkpoint Blob Container Name

Name of the blob storage container used for checkpoint storage.

Note: Per Azure restrictions, the name must be at least three character but no longer than 63. It should contains only letters, numbers, and dash characters, such as the hyphen ( - ) or em dash ( — ).

When using Azure Blob Storage as a checkpoint store, Microsoft recommends the following:

  • Use a separate container for each consumer group. You can use the same storage account, but use one container per each group.

  • Do not use the storage account for anything else.

  • Do not use the container for anything else.

  • Create the storage account in the same region as the deployed application. If the application is on-premises, try to select the closest region possible.
