How do I check how many messages I used so far on Azure IoT Central ?

Question

I could not find this anywhere, but is there a way to see the number of messages you send to and from Azure IoT Central? I am currently using the standard tier 2 for a project and wanted to see how many messages I used already during the month. On the pricing page it says it says 60000 messages for two devices but doesn't say anything about viewing it.

Answer 1

You can use the Azure CLI IoT extension to see the messages your devices are sending to IoT Central and observe changes in the device twin.

Use the below command to monitor the device telemetry and messages that are being sent to your IoT Central app from your devices. This will include all headers and annotations.

az iot central app monitor-events --app-id {app_id}  

For more details and other available options, please refer az iot central app monitor-events cmdlets.

Hope this helps.
