CloudEvents v1.0 schema with Azure Event Grid

  • Raksts

Azure Event Grid natively supports events in the JSON implementation of CloudEvents v1.0 and HTTP protocol binding. CloudEvents is an open specification for describing event data. CloudEvents simplifies interoperability by providing a common event schema for publishing, and consuming cloud based events. This schema allows for uniform tooling, standard ways of routing & handling events, and universal ways of deserializing the outer event schema. With a common schema, you can more easily integrate work across platforms.

CloudEvents is being built by several collaborators, including Microsoft, through the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It's currently available as version 1.0.

This article describes using CloudEvents schema with Event Grid.

Sample event using CloudEvents schema

Here's an example of an Azure Blob Storage event in the CloudEvents format:

{
    "specversion": "1.0",
    "type": "Microsoft.Storage.BlobCreated",  
    "source": "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group}/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/{storage-account}",
    "id": "9aeb0fdf-c01e-0131-0922-9eb54906e209",
    "time": "2019-11-18T15:13:39.4589254Z",
    "subject": "blobServices/default/containers/{storage-container}/blobs/{new-file}",    
    "data": {
        "api": "PutBlockList",
        "clientRequestId": "4c5dd7fb-2c48-4a27-bb30-5361b5de920a",
        "requestId": "9aeb0fdf-c01e-0131-0922-9eb549000000",
        "eTag": "0x8D76C39E4407333",
        "contentType": "image/png",
        "contentLength": 30699,
        "blobType": "BlockBlob",
        "url": "https://gridtesting.blob.core.windows.net/testcontainer/{new-file}",
        "sequencer": "000000000000000000000000000099240000000000c41c18",
        "storageDiagnostics": {
            "batchId": "681fe319-3006-00a8-0022-9e7cde000000"
        }
    }
}

A detailed description of the available fields, their types, and definitions in CloudEvents v1.0 is available here.

The headers values for events delivered in the CloudEvents schema and the Event Grid schema are the same except for content-type. For CloudEvents schema, that header value is "content-type":"application/cloudevents+json; charset=utf-8". For Event Grid schema, that header value is "content-type":"application/json; charset=utf-8".

Configuration for CloudEvents

You can use Event Grid for both input and output of events in CloudEvents schema. You can use CloudEvents for system events, like Blob Storage events and IoT Hub events, and custom events. In addition to supporting CloudEvents, Event Grid supports a proprietary, nonextensible, yet fully functional Event Grid event format. The following table describes the transformation supported when using CloudEvents and Event Grid formats as an input schema in topics and as an output schema in event subscriptions. An Event Grid output schema can't be used when using CloudEvents as an input schema because CloudEvents supports extension attributes that aren't supported by the Event Grid schema.

Input schema Output schema
CloudEvents format CloudEvents format
Event Grid format CloudEvents format
Event Grid format Event Grid format

For all event schemas, Event Grid requires validation when publishing to an Event Grid topic and when creating an event subscription. For more information, see Event Grid security and authentication.

Input schema

You set the input schema for a custom topic when you create the custom topic by using the input-schema parameter.

For the Azure CLI, use:

az eventgrid topic create --name demotopic -l westcentralus -g gridResourceGroup --input-schema cloudeventschemav1_0

For PowerShell, use:

New-AzEventGridTopic -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup -Location westcentralus -Name demotopic -InputSchema CloudEventSchemaV1_0

Output schema

You set the output schema when you create the event subscription by using the event-delivery-schema parameter.

For the Azure CLI, use:

topicID=$(az eventgrid topic show --name demotopic -g gridResourceGroup --query id --output tsv)

az eventgrid event-subscription create --name demotopicsub --source-resource-id $topicID --endpoint <endpoint_URL> --event-delivery-schema cloudeventschemav1_0

For PowerShell, use:

$topicid = (Get-AzEventGridTopic -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup -Name <topic-name>).Id

New-AzEventGridSubscription -ResourceId $topicid -EventSubscriptionName <event_subscription_name> -Endpoint <endpoint_URL> -DeliverySchema CloudEventSchemaV1_0

Use with Azure Functions

Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code

If you're using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, and C# programming language to develop functions, make sure that you're using the latest Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.EventGrid NuGet package (version 3.3.1 or above).

In Visual Studio, use the Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console, and run the Install-Package command (Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.EventGrid -Version 3.3.1). Alternatively, right-click the project in the Solution Explorer window, and select Manage NuGet Packages menu to browse for the NuGet package, and install or update it to the latest version.

In VS Code, update the version number for the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.EventGrid package in the csproj file for your Azure Functions project.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <AzureFunctionsVersion>v4</AzureFunctionsVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.EventGrid" Version="3.3.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions" Version="4.1.1" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="host.json">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
    <None Update="local.settings.json">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
      <CopyToPublishDirectory>Never</CopyToPublishDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

The following example shows an Azure Functions version 3.x function that's developed in either Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. It uses a CloudEvent binding parameter and EventGridTrigger.

using Azure.Messaging;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.EventGrid;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

namespace Company.Function
{
    public static class CloudEventTriggerFunction
    {
        [FunctionName("CloudEventTriggerFunction")]
        public static void Run(ILogger logger, [EventGridTrigger] CloudEvent e)
        {
            logger.LogInformation("Event received {type} {subject}", e.Type, e.Subject);
        }
    }
}

Azure portal development experience

If you're using the Azure portal to develop an Azure function, follow these steps:

  1. Update the name of the parameter in function.json file to cloudEvent.

    {
  "bindings": [
    {
      "type": "eventGridTrigger",
      "name": "cloudEvent",
      "direction": "in"
    }
  ]
}

  2. Update the run.csx file as shown in the following sample code.

    #r "Azure.Core"

using Azure.Messaging;

public static void Run(CloudEvent cloudEvent, ILogger logger)
{
    logger.LogInformation("Event received {type} {subject}", cloudEvent.Type, cloudEvent.Subject);
}
