Azure Storage account blob event subscription failure alert - azure

I have created an event subscription in storage account for blob creation events using system topic event grid. Is there a way to track the delivery of "blob created" notifications from storage to the event grid system topic ? I'm not asking for delivery of notifications from system topic to end point like function, queue etc.

By following #Shweta Lodha document, you can Get Notified Via Azure Event Grid Whenever Azure Blob Is Updated.
When creating Event Grid in Additional features select Enable dead lettering to catch any events that are not delivered successfully to the subscribers as shown in below image. This will send any undelivered events to the specified storage account
you can track the delivery of "blob created" notifications from storage to the Event Grid system topic by Enable logging for the Event Grid topic as shown in the image In the Diagnostic logs section turn on Stream to an event hub . It will allow you to view the logs in an Azure Event Hub or export them to a storage account
By following this Microsoft document, you can view metrics

For more information like how to use Azure event grid to route blob storage to web end points follow this document.
In Event Grid response status codes 200,201 etc. you can track the delivery of blob created notifications from your storage account to the event grid system topic

Azure Storage Account Event subscription: Event not getting delivered to subscription

The requirement is when a file gets uploaded to a storage account container, a logic should be in force to encrypt the file and place it in another container and source file should not get affected. For this I setup an event subscription in storage account, which would publish event to an event grid system topic, in turn triggers an Azure function. Below is the screenshot of event subscription setup.
The issue is the event gets published to event grid system topic but not getting delivered to subscription. I set up diagnostic settings for the event grid system topic. Below is the error that I found in logs. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?
outcome=Forbidden,deliveryResponse=Forbidden, errorCode=Forbidden, HttpRequestMessage: httpVersion=1.1, HttpResponseMessage: HttpVersion=1.1, StatusCode=Forbidden(Forbidden), StatusDescription=Ip Forbidden, ConnectionInfo=defaultConnectionLimit=1024, reusePortSupported=True, reusePort=True,
To the Azure function app, add an inbound traffic rule under Networking option to allow traffic from Azure EventGrid

dead lettering in Azure event grid does not work

As per the Microsoft documentation, Event Grid does not implement retry on specific errors like 400, 413, 401. In such cases Event Grid will either perform dead-lettering on the event or drop the event if dead-letter isn't configured.
So I enabled dead letter on my webhook (receiver endpoint) and produced a 400 error. But it is still not captured in dead letter logs container.
Is there something I am missing?
Please have a look at the Event Grid message delivery and retry - Dead-letter events documentation and see if your configuration is correct.
By default, Event Grid doesn't turn on dead-lettering. To enable it, you must specify a storage account to hold undelivered events when creating the event subscription. You pull events from this storage account to resolve deliveries.
[...]
Before setting the dead-letter location, you must have a storage account with a container. You provide the endpoint for this container when creating the event subscription. The endpoint is in the format of: /subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-name>/blobServices/default/containers/<container-name>
Also, take into account that
There's a five-minute delay between the last attempt to deliver an event and when it's delivered to the dead-letter location. This delay is intended to reduce the number of Blob storage operations. If the dead-letter location is unavailable for four hours, the event is dropped.

send events from Azure Service Bus Topic to Event Hub

I want to send an event that is sent to Azure Service Bus topic to an event hub. Is this possible?
Details:
I am working with a different team in my company that receives third party events (via webhook) to Azure Service Bus topic and this is further used in different application.
My team wants to now listen/subscribe to this topic using our existing event hub and using azure capture store these events to a storage account.
I did the following:
I created a subscription to their topic in their Azure Service Bus.
I created an event hub in my Event hub namespace.
I am not sure, how to now connect the azure service bus topic subscription to send those events to my event hub.
Thanks for your time.
Service bus operates with the receivers having to pull messages from it. This is opposite to Eventgrid which pushes the events to its subscribers. Eventhub does not pull messages from the source, we need to push messages into it. So you cannot achieve your requirement without an extra component between Service Bus and Eventhub.
One of the possible components would be a service bus topic triggered azure function LINK which writes into the eventhub using output binding LINK or the SDK LINK.
You will need to choose your service plan carefully depending on the volume of messages expected but usually Consumption plan will suit this purpose.

Getting Azure Blob Store Eventgrid Notifications from another Azure Account

we work with an other company who just proposed us to privide us with an azure blob store SAS token. But we would like to use the events triggered by the Blob store and provided by the Azure Eventgrid system.
Is this possible ?
Why we have to this on our azure account is for billing purposes, we need the Events they don't we will have to pay for through our account
I hope someone can lead me in the right direction.
Azure Blob Storage as an Event Grid source works for Microsoft.Storage.BlobCreated and Microsoft.Storage.BlobDeleted and when an event is triggered, the Event Grid service sends data about that event to the subscribing endpoint. Those event grid subscriptions exist in the same Azure Subscription as the resources.
Webhook Event delivery is one of the many ways to receive events from Azure Event Grid and this is something you can host in your Azure Subscription (or even outside of Azure).
Given the Price per million operations is only $0.60 per the Event Grid Basic tier, the Webhook notification will allow you to pay for all but a negligible amount of the costs.

Send Azure Blob Storage event notifications to Event Hubs on another account

In Azure, I'm trying to send event notifications from a Storage Account in one Active Directory to an Event Hub in another Active Directory.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to share/link the resource.
In AWS, I was able to accomplish this by creating a role in the receiver account, adding the source account by ID, adding the SQS Writer resource permission, and adding the SQS Queue ARN as the bucket notification destination. I'm guessing something similar is possible in Azure..
At the moment, I am looking at Active Directory IAM, which appears to have the EventGrid EventSubscription Contributor property. In the destination account I have added the source account as a contributor, and I received a notification in the source account that I had permissions in the destination account, but when I try to create an event subscription in the source account, the Event Hubs in the destination account don't show as an option.
How can I write event notifications to Event Hubs in one account from a Storage Account in another?
Absolutely yes. I think there are many ways to do that across different subscriptions, such as the two below.
Solution 1 to use Azure Functions. You can use Azure Function with Blob Trigger to get the event notifications of blob changes, and then to request the other Azure Function with HttpTrigger via PUT/POST method to transfer the event message of blob information like blob url with SAS token for accessing in other subscriptions.
Solution 2 to use Azure Logic Apps. You can use the logic flow below to get the blob change events to send the notification message to EventHub in other subscriptions, because Azure Logic Apps allows to configure their connection information manually as below.

Basically, there are supported two ways in the Azure Event Grid Pub/Sub model for delivery events across the multi-tenants environment, such as:
Tightly coupled delivery of the event messages to the subscriber resource based on the RBAC. At the subscriber (destination) resource, you can
add a built-in role assignment such as EventGrid EventSubscription Contributor for Azure AD user, etc.
or add co-administrator at the Azure subscription level
The following screen snippet shows an example of the case when I am a co-administrator two Azure subscriptions such as the Stage and Development.
Creating an Event Subscription for event driven blob storage topic in the AEG provider at the Stage azure account and delivery its notification events across the azure account boundary to the Subscriber such as an Event Hub located in the Development azure account is straightforward:
Loosely decoupled delivery of the event messages to the Subscribers across the multi-tenants boundary based on the WebHook event handler endpoint. For Pub/Sub integration across the tenant boundary can be used an EventGridTrigger function with an output binding to the Event Hub resource. The following screen snippet shows this example:
The above solution is very straightforward with capability to mediate (pre-processing) an event message to the Event Hub resource.
In the case for distributing the events to another subscribers, etc. in the Fan-Out pattern manner, the Azure Event Grids can be cascaded like is shown in the following screen snippet:
In the above solution, each tenant has own Azure Event Grid provider and there are cascaded via the "plumbing" WebHook event handler endpoint and custom topic endpoint.
More details about the AEG cascading implementation can be found here.
