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

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

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
I currently have several Event Subscriptions configured on an Event Grid Domain Topic, some of which have dead lettering configured to various Storage Account Blob Containers. At the moment this Storage Account allows public access on the Acces Control List.
I am looking to improve our security posture on this Storage Account and was wondering if changing this to Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses and selecting the allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account will allow Event Grid to write to the Storage Account Blob containers.
The Trusted access for resources registered in your subscription section of the documentation is not clear to me if publishing to Blob containers is a supported scenario. Anyone configured Storage Account network access lists to support this scenario?
TLDR
Securing the storage account by clicking the "Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses" button on the networking tab of the Storage Account restricts all access from public networks. The important part of this process is to enable the "Allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account." network exception rule to allow Event Grid to communicate.
I will close this ticket and raise another story / tasks to action the change in the normal release cycle.
The long explanation
I create a new resources group containing a new Event Grid Domain, Topic, Subscription and a Function App endpoint as the subscription endpoint. I used Postman on my machine to publish events to this topic. A publicly accessible storage account was created with a blob container for the dead letter queue.
Round 1
All services publicly accessible I published several messages to the topic. From monitoring the function app log I could see these messages were reaching the target successfully. Checking the dead letter container after 5 minutes resulting in no entries. Checking the Event Grid subscription showed successful delivery.
Round 2
I stopped the Subscription endpoint function app and published 10 events, the storage account was still publicly accessible.
Event grid shows the matched subscriptions and failed deliveries. After 5 minutes event grid shown the dead lettered events. Checking the storage account I could see the dead letter blob container container date based folder structure and json files containing the failed messages.
Round 3
I enabled the network restrictions and Allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account exception on the storage account.
I published 10 events to the event grid topic which shows the matched subscriptions and failed deliveries. After 5 minutes event grid shows the dead lettered events.
Checking the storage account new dead letter folders and json files were present
Round 4
As these network changes can sometimes take several minutes to fully propagate I reran the same test over the next hour and after lunch.
This again successfully created new folders and json files for the failed delivered events.
The why?
Why did we need to do the test this way? Well, the documentation is unclear on what the Azure trusted service encompasses, specific the event grid select reads - Enable Blob Storage event publishing and allow Event Grid to publish to storage queues. Learn about blob storage events and publishing to queues.
This is unclear, to ne anyway, if publishing to dead letter blob containers is covered by this functionality.
I will raise a change with MS to update the documentation.
I have an HTTP Azure Function running locally in VS Code. I have set up ngrok to allow Azure Event Grid messages through. I have set up a Event Topic and Subscription on a Resource Group with the webhook endpoint. I can successfully subscribe to the events and I see the validation event come through to my local trigger through ngrok. I also see the subscription created event come through successfully.
The problem I have is that when I write a file into a container in the same Resource Group, I don't get any events.
If I create another event subscription under the same topic in the same resource group with everything the same except the end point is a function running on Azure (instead of my webhook endpoint), the blob storage events work correctly.
So Azure doesn't like something about sending Blob Container storage events down to my webhook endpoint? I'm guessing this is an auth thing I am missing.
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.
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.
