To provide more context, IoT Hub batches messages and writes data to storage whenever the batch reaches a certain size or a certain amount of time has elapsed. IoT Hub defaults to the following file naming convention:

{iothub}/{partition}/{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/{HH}/{mm}

You can set the format of the blob name using the Blob file name format. The default is {iothub}/{partition}/{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/{HH}/{mm}. The format must contain {iothub}, {partition}, {YYYY}, {MM}, {DD}, {HH}, and {mm} in any order.

IoT Hub will write to an empty blob if there is no data to write. We recommend listing the blobs or files and then iterating over them, to ensure all blobs or files are read without making any assumptions of partition. The partition range could potentially change during a Microsoft-initiated failover or IoT Hub manual failover.

@AhmedAssad-8581 Sorry for the delay in response. As mentioned earlier, The default file name format is {iothub}/{partition}/{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/{HH}/{mm}. The format must contain {iothub}, {partition}, {YYYY}, {MM}, {DD}, {HH}, and {mm} in any order.

As an alternative, to customize the filename format, you can write an Azure Function which triggers for new IoT hub messages and store the data in an Azure Blob Storage Container.

I would suggest you go through the documentation on How to use Azure Functions with IoT Hub message routing and Azure IoT Hub bindings for Azure Functions for more details. Please let us know if you need further help or any queries.
