Service Bus queues and topics as event handlers for Azure Event Grid events

  • Članak

An event handler receives events from an event source via Event Grid, and processes those events. You can use instances of a few Azure services to handle events and Azure Service Bus is one of them. This article shows you how to use a Service Bus queue or topic as a handler for events from Event Grid.

Service Bus queues

You can route events in Event Grid directly to Service Bus queues for use in buffering or command and control scenarios in enterprise applications.

Use Azure portal

In the Azure portal, while creating an event subscription, select Service Bus Queue as the endpoint type and then click select an endpoint to choose a Service Bus queue.

Note

Session enabled queues are not supported as event handlers for Azure Event Grid events

Use Azure CLI

Use the az eventgrid event-subscription create command with --endpoint-type set to servicebusqueue and --endpoint set to /subscriptions/{AZURE SUBSCRIPTION}/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE GROUP NAME>/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/<NAMESPACE NAME>/queues/<QUEUE NAME>. Here's an example:

az eventgrid event-subscription create \
    --name <my-event-subscription> \
    --source-resource-id /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/{RG}/providers/Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/topic1 \
    --endpoint-type servicebusqueue \
    --endpoint /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/TestRG/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/ns1/queues/queue1

You can also use the az eventgrid topic event-subscription command for custom topics, the az eventgrid system-topic event-subscription command for system topics, and the az eventgrid partner topic event-subscription create command for partner topics.

Use Azure PowerShell

Use the New-AzEventGridSubscription command with -EndpointType set to servicebusqueue and -Endpoint set to /subscriptions/{AZURE SUBSCRIPTION}/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE GROUP NAME>/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/<NAMESPACE NAME>/queues/<QUEUE NAME>. Here's an example:

New-AzEventGridSubscription -ResourceGroup MyResourceGroup `
            -TopicName Topic1 `
            -EndpointType servicebusqueue `
            -Endpoint /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/TestRG/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/ns1/queues/queue1 `
            -EventSubscriptionName EventSubscription1

You can also use the New-AzEventGridSystemTopicEventSubscription command for system topics, and the New-AzEventGridPartnerTopicEventSubscription command for partner topics.

Service Bus topics

You can route events in Event Grid directly to Service Bus topics for command and control messaging scenarios.

Use Azure portal

In the Azure portal, while creating an event subscription, select Service Bus Topic as the endpoint type and then click select an endpoint to choose a Service Bus topic.

Use Azure CLI

Use the az eventgrid event-subscription create command with --endpoint-type set to servicebustopic and --endpoint set to /subscriptions/{AZURE SUBSCRIPTION}/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE GROUP NAME>/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/<NAMESPACE NAME>/topics/<TOPIC NAME>. Here's an example:

az eventgrid event-subscription create \
    --name <my-event-subscription> \
    --source-resource-id /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/{RG}/providers/Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/topic1 \
    --endpoint-type servicebustopic \
    --endpoint /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/TestRG/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/ns1/topics/topic1

You can also use the az eventgrid topic event-subscription command for custom topics, the az eventgrid system-topic event-subscription command for system topics, and the az eventgrid partner topic event-subscription create command for partner topics.

Use Azure PowerShell

Use the New-AzEventGridSubscription command with -EndpointType set to servicebustopic and -Endpoint set to /subscriptions/{AZURE SUBSCRIPTION}/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE GROUP NAME>/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/<NAMESPACE NAME>/topics/<TOPIC NAME>. Here's an example:

New-AzEventGridSubscription -ResourceGroup MyResourceGroup `
            -TopicName Topic1 `
            -EndpointType servicebustopic `
            -Endpoint /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/TestRG/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/ns1/topics/topic1 `
            -EventSubscriptionName EventSubscription1

You can also use the New-AzEventGridSystemTopicEventSubscription command for system topics, and the New-AzEventGridPartnerTopicEventSubscription command for partner topics.

Message headers

These are the properties you receive in the message headers:

Property name Description
aeg-subscription-name Name of the event subscription.
aeg-delivery-count Number of attempts made for the event.
aeg-event-type

Type of the event.

It can be one of the following values:

  • SubscriptionValidation
  • Notification
  • SubscriptionDeletion
aeg-metadata-version

Metadata version of the event.

For Event Grid event schema, this property represents the metadata version and for cloud event schema, it represents the spec version.

aeg-data-version

Data version of the event.

For Event Grid event schema, this property represents the data version and for cloud event schema, it doesn't apply.
aeg-output-event-id ID of the Event Grid event.

When you send an event to a Service Bus queue or topic as a brokered message, the messageid of the brokered message is an internal system ID.

The internal system ID for the message is maintained across redelivery of the event so that you can avoid duplicate deliveries by turning on duplicate detection on the service bus entity. We recommend that you enable duration of the duplicate detection on the Service Bus entity to be either the time-to-live (TTL) of the event or max retry duration, whichever is longer.

Delivery properties

Event subscriptions allow you to set up HTTP headers that are included in delivered events. This capability allows you to set custom headers that the destination requires. You can set custom headers on the events that are delivered to Azure Service Bus queues and topics.

Azure Service Bus supports the use of following message properties when sending single messages.

Header name Header type
MessageId Dynamic
PartitionKey Static or dynamic
SessionId Static or dynamic
CorrelationId Static or dynamic
Label Static or dynamic
ReplyTo Static or dynamic
ReplyToSessionId Static or dynamic
To Static or dynamic
ViaPartitionKey Static or dynamic

Note

  • The default value of MessageId is the internal ID of the Event Grid event. You can override it. For example, data.field.
  • You can only set either SessionId or MessageId.

				}
			}
		},
		"eventDeliverySchema": "EventGridSchema"
	}
}

Note

When a failover occurs for a Service Bus namespace that's Geo-Disaster Recovery enabled, the secondary namespace doesn't emit events to Event Grid. You need to manually add the Event Grid subscription for the secondary namespace.
