Troubleshoot issues with data exports from your Azure IoT Central application
This document helps you find out why the data your IoT Central application isn't reaching it's intended destination or isn't arriving in the correct format.
Managed identity issues
You're using a managed identity to authorize the connection to an export destination. Data isn't arriving at the export destination.
Before you configure or enable the export destination, make sure that you complete the following steps:
Enable the managed identity for the IoT Central application. To verify that the managed identity is enabled, go to the Identity page for your application in the Azure portal or use the following CLI command:
az iot central app identity show --name {your app name} --resource-group {your resource group name}
Configure the permissions for the managed identity. To view the assigned permissions, select Azure role assignments on the Identity page for your app in the Azure portal or use the
az role assignment list
CLI command. The required permissions are:Destination Permission Azure Blob storage Storage Blob Data Contributor Azure Service Bus Azure Service Bus Data Sender Azure Event Hubs Azure Event Hubs Data Sender Azure Data Explorer Admin If the permissions were not set correctly before you created the destination in your IoT Central application, try removing the destination and then adding it again.
Configure any virtual networks, private endpoints, and firewall policies.
Note
If you're using a managed identity to authorize the connection to an export destination, IoT Central doesn't export data from simulated devices.
