Trigger on Azure File Share?

Question

We have on-premise windows network file share which we want to move to Azure. To do that we are going to use Azure File Share and mount it by mapping the drive.

Is there any trigger or event which gets invoked when a file is added to the share so that we can perform additional task once file is added like reading the content and saving its data to the Azure SQL db?

@Anirud Thapliyal Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

This function isn't available yet. One option that is worth testing is to use the storage logging feature to send the logs to Event Hub and monitor when the file is closed.

Example below is a file copy to a file share. Once the file copy completed, the file was closed.

{ "time": "2020-11-06 T20:28:02.9322274Z", "resourceId": "/subscriptions/SubID/resourceGroups/afs/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/SAName/fileServices/default", "category": "StorageWrite", "operationName": "Close", "operationVersion": "3.0", "schemaVersion": "1.0", "statusCode": 0, "durationMs": 5, "callerIpAddress": "IP Address", "correlationId": "35f******1d-00ce-001e-91****00", "identity": {"type":"NTLMv2"}, "location": "West US", "properties": {"accountName":"SAName","etag":"0x8d85f3601523d96","serviceType":"file","lastModifiedTime":"2020/11/06 20:28:02.7964822","serverLatencyMs":5,"operationCount":0,"requestHeaderSize":64,"requestBodySize":24,"responseHeaderSize":64,"responseBodySize":112,"smbSessionId":10151588549518950453,"smbTreeConnectID":5,"smbPersistentHandleID":153771048971,"smbVolatileHandleID":18446744069414584357,

Answer 2

Trigger for Azure file share is not available at this moment.

I guess, you can schedule a pipeline / job to run after some interval to load file data to SQL.
