Azure IoT Hub

Thumbnail icon

Azure IoT Hub is a managed service hosted in the cloud that acts as a central message hub for communication between an IoT application and its attached devices. This integration helps in monitoring the device creation, device connections, device operations, device data usage, and device failures.

Log and metric types​

For Azure IoT Hub, you can collect the following logs and metrics:

  • Resource logs. To learn more about the different resource log category types and schemas collected for Azure IoT Hub, refer to the Azure documentation.
  • Platform Metrics for Azure IoT Hub. These metrics are available in Microsoft.Devices/IotHubs namespace. For more information on supported metrics, refer to the Azure documentation.

Setup​

Azure service sends monitoring data to Azure Monitor, which can then stream data to Eventhub. Sumo Logic supports:

You must explicitly enable diagnostic settings for each Azure IoT Hub you want to monitor. You can forward logs to the same event hub provided they satisfy the limitations and permissions as described here.

When you configure the event hubs source or HTTP source, plan your source category to ease the querying process. A hierarchical approach allows you to make use of wildcards. For example: Azure/IoTHub/Logs, Azure/IoTHub/Metrics.

Configure metrics collection​

In this section, you will configure a pipeline for shipping metrics from Azure Monitor to an Event Hub, on to an Azure Function, and finally to an HTTP Source on a hosted collector in Sumo Logic.

  1. Configure an HTTP Source.
  2. Configure and deploy the ARM Template.
  3. Export metrics to Event Hub. Perform below steps for each Azure IoT Hub that you want to monitor.
    • Choose Stream to an event hub as destination.
    • Select AllMetrics.
    • Use the Event hub namespace created by the ARM template in Step 2 above. You can create a new Event hub or use the one created by ARM template. You can use the default policy RootManageSharedAccessKey as the policy name.

Configure logs collection​

In this section, you will configure a pipeline for shipping diagnostic logs from Azure Monitor to an Event Hub.

  1. To set up the Azure Event Hubs source in Sumo Logic, refer to Azure Event Hubs Source for Logs.
  2. To create the Diagnostic settings in Azure portal, refer to the Azure documentation. Perform below steps for each Azure IoT Hub that you want to monitor.
    • Choose Stream to an event hub as the destination.
    • Select allLogs.
    • Use the Event hub namespace and Event hub name configured in previous step in destination details section. You can use the default policy RootManageSharedAccessKey as the policy name.

Troubleshooting​

HTTP Logs and Metrics Source used by Azure Functions​

To troubleshoot metrics collection, follow the instructions in Collect Metrics from Azure Monitor > Troubleshooting metrics collection.
