Quickstart: Route custom events to web endpoint with PowerShell and Event Grid

In this article, you use the Azure PowerShell to create a custom topic, subscribe to the topic, and trigger the event to view the result. Typically, you send events to an endpoint that processes the event data and takes actions. However, to simplify this article, you send the events to a web app that collects and displays the messages.

Note

If you are new to Azure Event Grid, see What's Azure Event Grid to get an overview of the service before going through this tutorial.

When you're finished, you see that the event data has been sent to the web app.

Note

We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. To get started, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

If you don't have an Azure subscription, create an Azure free account before you begin.

This article requires that you're running the latest version of Azure PowerShell. If you need to install or upgrade, see Install and configure Azure PowerShell.

Create a resource group

Event Grid topics are Azure resources, and must be placed in an Azure resource group. The resource group is a logical collection into which Azure resources are deployed and managed.

Create a resource group with the New-AzResourceGroup command.

The following example creates a resource group named gridResourceGroup in the westus2 location.

New-AzResourceGroup -Name gridResourceGroup -Location westus2

Enable Event Grid resource provider

If you haven't previously used Event Grid in your Azure subscription, you may need to register the Event Grid resource provider. Run the following command:

Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.EventGrid

It may take a moment for the registration to finish. To check the status, run:

Get-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.EventGrid

When RegistrationStatus is Registered, you're ready to continue.

Create a custom topic

An Event Grid topic provides a user-defined endpoint that you post your events to. The following example creates the custom topic in your resource group. Replace <your-topic-name> with a unique name for your topic. The topic name must be unique because it's part of the Domain Name System (DNS) entry. Additionally, it must be between 3-50 characters and contain only values a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and "-"

$topicname="<your-topic-name>"

New-AzEventGridTopic -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup -Location westus2 -Name $topicname

Create a message endpoint

Before subscribing to the topic, let's create the endpoint for the event message. Typically, the endpoint takes actions based on the event data. To simplify this quickstart, you deploy a prebuilt web app that displays the event messages. The deployed solution includes an App Service plan, an App Service web app, and source code from GitHub.

Replace <your-site-name> with a unique name for your web app. The web app name must be unique because it's part of the DNS entry.

$sitename="<your-site-name>"

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment `
  -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup `
  -TemplateUri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/azure-event-grid-viewer/master/azuredeploy.json" `
  -siteName $sitename `
  -hostingPlanName viewerhost

The deployment may take a few minutes to complete. After the deployment has succeeded, view your web app to make sure it's running. In a web browser, navigate to: https://<your-site-name>.azurewebsites.net

You should see the site with no messages currently displayed.

Subscribe to a topic

You subscribe to a topic to tell Event Grid which events you want to track and where to send those events. The following example subscribes to the topic you created, and passes the URL from your web app as the endpoint for event notification.

The endpoint for your web app must include the suffix /api/updates/.

$endpoint="https://$sitename.azurewebsites.net/api/updates"

New-AzEventGridSubscription `
  -EventSubscriptionName demoViewerSub `
  -Endpoint $endpoint `
  -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup `
  -TopicName $topicname

View your web app again, and notice that a subscription validation event has been sent to it. Select the eye icon to expand the event data. Event Grid sends the validation event so the endpoint can verify that it wants to receive event data. The web app includes code to validate the subscription.

Send an event to your topic

Let's trigger an event to see how Event Grid distributes the message to your endpoint. First, let's get the URL and key for the topic.

$endpoint = (Get-AzEventGridTopic -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup -Name $topicname).Endpoint
$keys = Get-AzEventGridTopicKey -ResourceGroupName gridResourceGroup -Name $topicname

To simplify this article, let's set up sample event data to send to the custom topic. Typically, an application or Azure service would send the event data. The following example uses Hashtable to construct the event's data htbody and then coverts it to well-formed JSON payload object $body:

$eventID = Get-Random 99999

#Date format should be SortableDateTimePattern (ISO 8601)
$eventDate = Get-Date -Format s

#Construct body using Hashtable
$htbody = @{
    id= $eventID
    eventType="recordInserted"
    subject="myapp/vehicles/motorcycles"
    eventTime= $eventDate   
    data= @{
        make="Ducati"
        model="Monster"
    }
    dataVersion="1.0"
}

#Use ConvertTo-Json to convert event body from Hashtable to JSON Object
#Append square brackets to the converted JSON payload since they are expected in the event's JSON payload syntax
$body = "["+(ConvertTo-Json $htbody)+"]"

If you view $body, you see the full event. The data element of the JSON is the payload of your event. Any well-formed JSON can go in this field. You can also use the subject field for advanced routing and filtering.

Now, send the event to your topic.

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $endpoint -Method POST -Body $body -Headers @{"aeg-sas-key" = $keys.Key1}

You've triggered the event, and Event Grid sent the message to the endpoint you configured when subscribing. View your web app to see the event you just sent.

[{
  "id": "1807",
  "eventType": "recordInserted",
  "subject": "myapp/vehicles/motorcycles",
  "eventTime": "2018-01-25T15:58:13",
  "data": {
    "make": "Ducati",
    "model": "Monster"
  },
  "dataVersion": "1.0",
  "metadataVersion": "1",
  "topic": "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group}/providers/Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/{topic}"
}]

Clean up resources

If you plan to continue working with this event or the event viewer app, don't clean up the resources created in this article. Otherwise, use the following command to delete the resources you created in this article.

Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name gridResourceGroup
