Add Azure data via Monitor service and an event hub
- Laszlo Frazer
Most Azure data should be sent to Devo by using the Azure Monitor service to add a diagnostic that streams to the event hub. All production resources in Azure should be added to Monitor.
Before starting this process, authorize an Event Hub for the regions containing the Azure resources.
Search for and select the Monitor service.
Click the Diagnostic Settings option in the left area.
An Azure account may have thousands of resources which need diagnostic settings configured. If manually enabling the diagnostic settings is inconvenient, use PowerShell to create a policy.
Select a resource. Do not select the event hub because event hubs cannot monitor themselves. If there are no other resources, perform the validation procedure to create a resource.
Add diagnostic setting.
Name the diagnostic setting.
Enable metrics and logs. The options will vary.
Enable “Stream to an event hub.”
Select the namespace, hub, and policy you created.
Click Save.
If it is necessary to monitor resources that have not been created yet, create a policy in PowerShell.
If the event hub does not have a collector yet, create one.
