Azure IoT Hub non-telemetry event schemas

  • आलेख

This article provides the properties and schemas for non-telemetry events emitted by Azure IoT Hub. Non-telemetry events are different from device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device messages in that IoT Hub emits these events in response to specific state changes associated with your devices. For example, lifecycle changes like a device or module being created or deleted, or connection state changes like a device or module connecting or disconnecting.

You can route non-telemetry events using message routing, or reach to non-telemetry events using Azure Event Grid. To learn more about IoT Hub message routing, see IoT Hub message routing and React to IoT Hub events by using Event Grid.

The event examples in this article were captured using the az iot hub monitor-events Azure CLI command. You may see a subset of properties included in the events that arrive at a message routing endpoint.

Available event types

Azure IoT Hub emits the non-telemetry events in the following categories:

Event category Description
Device connection state events Emitted when a device connects to or disconnects from an IoT hub.
Device lifecycle events Emitted when a device or module is created on or deleted from an IoT hub.
Device twin change events Emitted when a device or module twin is changed or replaced.
Digital twin change events Emitted when a device or module's digital twin is changed or replaced.

Common event properties

Non-telemetry events share several common properties.

System properties

IoT Hub sets the following system properties on each event.

Property Type Description Keyword for routing query
content-encoding string utf-8 $contentEncoding
content-type string application/json $contentType
correlation-id string A unique ID that identifies the event. $correlationId
user-id string The name of IoT Hub that generated the event. $userId
iothub-connection-device-id string The device ID. $connectionDeviceId
iothub-connection-module-id string The module ID. This property is output only for module life cycle and twin events. $connectionModuleId
iothub-enqueuedtime number Date and time when the notification was sent. In routing queries, use an ISO8601 timestamp; for example, $enqueuedTime > "2022-06-06T22:56:06Z" $enqueuedTime
iothub-message-source string The event category that identifies the message source. For example, deviceLifecycleEvents. N/A

Application properties

IoT Hub sets the following application properties on each event.

Property Type Description
deviceId string The device ID.
hubName string The name of the IoT Hub that generated the event.
iothub-message-schema string The message schema associated with the event category; for example, deviceLifecycleNotification.
moduleId string The module ID. This property is output only for module lifecycle and twin change events.
operationTimestamp string The ISO8601 timestamp of the operation.
opType string The identifier for the operation that generated the event. For example, createDeviceIdentity or deleteDeviceIdentity.

In routing queries, use the property name. For example, deviceId = "my-device".

Connection state events

Connection state events are emitted whenever a device or module connects or disconnects from the IoT hub.

Application properties: The following table shows how application properties are set for connection state events:

Property Value
iothub-message-schema deviceConnectionStateNotification
opType deviceConnected or deviceDisconnected

System properties: The following table shows how system properties are set for connection state events:

Property Value
iothub-message-source deviceConnectionStateEvents

Body: The body contains a sequence number. The sequence number is a string representation of a hexadecimal number. You can use string compare to identify the larger number. If you're converting the string to hex, then the number will be a 256-bit number. The sequence number is strictly increasing, so the latest event has a higher number than older events. This is useful if you have frequent device connects and disconnects, and want to ensure that only the latest event is used to trigger a downstream action.

Example

The following JSON shows a device connection state event emitted when a device disconnects.

{
    "event": {
        "origin": "contoso-device-1",

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Device twin change events

Device twin change events are emitted whenever a device twin or a module twin is updated or replaced. In some cases, several changes may be packaged in a single event. To learn more, see Device twin backend operations or Module twin backend operations.

Application properties: The following table shows how application properties are set for device twin change events:

Property Value
iothub-message-schema twinChangeNotification
opType One of the following values: replaceTwin or updateTwin.

System properties: The following table shows how system properties are set for device twin change events:

Property Value
iothub-message-source twinChangeEvents

Body: On an update, the body contains the version property of the twin and the updated tags and properties and their associated metadata. On a replace, the body contains the device ID and module ID, the twin etag, the version property, and all the tags, properties, and associated metadata of the device or module twin.

Example

The following JSON shows a twin change event emitted for an update of a desired property and a tag on a module twin. The event is captured using the az iot hub monitor-events Azure CLI command.
