Configure the Azure Event Hub Collector in Axon

The next step after successfully Configuring the Azure Event Hub in the Azure Portal is to add the collector type to Axon.

Currently, the Azure Collector supports two standard log formats for collection:

• records[]
• direct array[]

Add an Azure Event Hub Collector

Only Administrators can take this action.

1. In the lower-left corner of the main screen, click the Administration cog.
   The Administration menu appears on the left side.
2. Under Integrations, click Collectors.
   The Collectors page appears.
3. In the upper-right corner, click + Add Collector.
   The Add Collector Wizard appears.
4. Select Azure Event Hub from the list of collector types.
   A list of Log Source Types associated with the Azure Event Hub collector appears on the right.
5. Click Configure.

6. Enter the following information on the configuration page.
   Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

   Option	Description
   Collector Name *	Enter a unique name for this collector.
   Description	Enter an optional detailed description for this collector.
   Event Hub Namespace *	Enter the name of the Event Hub Namespace configured during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub.
   Event Hub in the Namespace *	Enter the name of the Event Hub created on the Namespace which was configured during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub.
   Consumer Group Name	Enter the optional name of the Consumer Group configured during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub. Only one Azure Event Hub Collector should be configured per combination of Consumer Group + Azure Event Hub. Creating multiple Azure Collectors for a single consumer group can result in errors and loss of logs. Additionally, it is not recommended to change the consumer group on an already-configured Azure Event Hub Collector. This will cause the Collector to re-establish its connection to Azure, resulting in further loss of logs. In cases where the consumer group does need to be changed, retire the old collector and create a new one with the correct consumer group.
   Name of Container in Azure Blob Storage *	Enter the name of the Storage Account Container configured during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub.
   Connection String to Azure Blob Storage Account *	Enter the name of the Connection String obtained during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub.
   Event Hub Shared Access Key Name *	Enter the name of the Shared Access Policy configured during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub.
   Event Hub Shared Access Connection String *	Enter the name of the Primary key obtained during the steps outlined in Configure Azure Event Hub.

7. Click Connect to test the collector's connection.
   If the connection is successful, the Azure Event Hub collector is added to the list of collectors in Axon.
