Send test messages to Azure EventHub and read the actual content of the message ?

Question

From the Azure portal, is there a simple way to send test messages to Azure EventHub and Read the actual content of those messages actually (not just check in metrics that message was sent)

(i dont want to use any dotnet application to send messages , but is there an option to test sending messages easily via Azure Portal )

Hi MS Techie,

Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Since you are not interested to write dot not code to send messages. You can consider creating a logic app for this purpose. Logic app has event hubs connector, in which we can send event action. Using this you can send messages to Event hub.

Below screenshot for sample logic app.

To read the messages which received by event hub you can consider using Enable real time insights from events template under process data menu.

Or you can even stream events to ADX cluster database tables and read from there. Please check below link with detailed steps to implement same.

Ingest data from event hub into Azure Data Explorer

Hope this helps. Please let me know if any further queries.

Hello @MS Techie ,

You can see incoming messages in the portal using the 'real time insights' option:

I'm sure how you can push message in a simple way.

Next to the portal, I encourage you to check out other tooling.

Have you checked out this VS Code extension:

Here is the Link to the extension.
