Prerequisites

Complete the following prerequisites, as needed, before you configure the Azure Event Hubs origin.

  1. Authorize access to the event hub using shared access signatures.

    The Azure Event Hubs origin requires read access to the event hub. For information about assigning access to Azure Event Hubs resources, see the Azure documentation.

    The origin does not support access through Active Directory at this time.

  2. Retrieve the Azure Event Hubs connection string.
    When you configure the Azure Event Hubs origin, you must provide the namespace, shared access policy, and shared access key. These details are included on the Azure Event Hubs connection string, as follows:
    Endpoint=sb://<namespace>.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=<shared access policy>;SharedAccessKey=<shared access key>

    For information about retrieving the connection string, see the Azure documentation.
