I've set up a Azure Data Factory pipeline containing a copy activity. For testing purposes both source and sink are Azure Blob Storages.
I wan't to execute the pipeline as soon as a new file is created on the source Azure Blob Storage.
I've created a trigger of type BlovEventsTrigger. Blob path begins with has been set to //
I use Cloud Storage Explorer to upload files but it doesn't trigger my pipeline. To get an idea of what is wrong, how can I check if the event is fired? Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks
Reiterating what others have stated:
Must be using a V2 Storage Account
Trigger name must only contain letters, numbers and the '-' character (this restriction will soon be removed)
Must have registered subscription with Event Grid resource provider (this will be done for you via the UX soon)
Trigger makes the following properties available #triggerBody().folderPath and #triggerBody().fileName. To use these in your pipeline your must map them to pipeline paramaters and use them as such: #pipeline().parameters.paramaetername.
Finally, based on your configuration setting blob path begins with to // will not match any blob event. The UX will actually show you an error message saying that that value is not valid. Please refer to the Event Based Trigger documentation for examples of valid configuration.
Please reference this. First, it needs to be a v2 storage. Second, you need register it with event grid.

There seems to be a bug with Blob storage trigger, if you have more than one trigger is allocated to the same blob container, none of the triggers will fire.
For some reasons (another bug, but this time in Data factories?), if you edit several times your trigger in the data factory windows, the data factory seems to loose track of the triggers it creates, and your single trigger may end up creating multiple duplicate triggers on the blob storage. This condition activates the first bug discussed above: the blob storage trigger doesn't trigger anymore.
To fix this, delete the duplicate triggers. For that, navigate to your blob storage resource in the Azure portal. Go to the Events blade. From there you'll see all the triggers that the data factories added to your blob storage. Delete the duplicates.
And now, on 20.06.2021, same for me: event trigger is not working, though when editing it's definition in DF, it shows all my files in folder, that matches. But when i add new file to that folder, nothing happens!
If you're creating your trigger via arm template, make sure you're aware of this bug. The "runtimeState" (aka "Activated") property of the trigger can only be set as "Stopped" via arm template. The trigger will need to be activated via powershell or the ADF portal.
An event grid resource provider needs to have been registered, within the specific azure subscription.
Also if you use Synapse Studio pipelines instead of Data Factory (like me) make sure the Data Factory resource provider is also registered.
Finally, the user should have both 'owner' and 'storage blob data contributor' on the storage account.

I am trying to create a ADF Pipeline which gets triggered as soon as a file in uploaded into a storage account. After triggering some operations are performed. I am able to get folder path and file name of the uploaded file. I also wanted to get the storage account name as it is useful in the future processes. Is there any way to extract that.
Currently, there is no option to fetch the storage account name directly from storage event triggers.
As a workaround, you can create a pipeline parameter to store the storage account name and pass the value from the event trigger when creating it.
Creating event trigger:
Here as we are selecting the storage name manually, pass the same
storage name value to the parameter.
Here, in the value option provide the storage account name.
Create a parameter in the pipeline to pull the storage name from the trigger.
Use the Set variable activity to show the parameter value which is passed from the trigger.
I am trying to copy the databricks logs from one folder to another, Since I am sending databricks logs to storage account which is append blob. My objective as any new blob/any files get appended I need to run the copy activity.
I tired storage events trigger but it is not running if any logs get appended to the same files. Is there any way to run the pipeline immediately if any files appended or new folder dd/mm/yyy format get created.
Thanks

There is no out-of-the-box method to trigger when a blob is appended, there is a similar ask here, you can log a more precise one to get an official response.
Or you can use Create a custom event trigger to run a pipeline in Azure Data Factory with Azure Blob Storage as an Event Grid source where event Microsoft.Storage.BlobCreated is "triggered when a blob is created or replaced." (Append Block succeeds only if the blob already exists.)
Also, perhaps with Microsoft.Storage.BlobRenamed, Microsoft.Storage.DirectoryCreated & Microsoft.Storage.DirectoryRenamed
I have an Azure Data Factory pipeline with two triggers:
schedule trigger
blob event trigger
I would like for blob event trigger to wait for a marker file in storage account under dynamic path e.g.:
landing/some_data_source/some_dataset/#{formatDateTime(#trigger().scheduledTime, 'yyyyMMdd')}/_SUCCESS
Refering to #trigger().scheduledTime doesn't work.
How to pass scheduleTime parameter value from schedule trigger to blob event trigger ?
If I understand correctly, you are trying to edit blob event trigger fields Blob path begins with or Blob path ends with - using the scheduleTime from the scheduleTrigger!
Unfortunately, as we can confirm from the official MS doc Create a trigger that runs a pipeline in response to a storage event
Blob path begins with and ends with are the only pattern matching
allowed in Storage Event Trigger. Other types of wildcard matching
aren't supported for the trigger type.
It takes the literal values.
This does not work:
Only if you have a file names as same ! Unlikely
Also, this dosen't
But, this would
Workaround:
As discussed with #marknorkin earlier, since this is not available out-of-the-box in BlobEventTrigger, we can try use Until activity composed from GetMetadata+Wait activities, where in GetMetadata will check for dynamic path existence.
Here is my problem in steps:
Uploading specific csv file via PowerShell with Az module to a specific Azure blob container. [Done, works fine]
There is a trigger against this container which fires when a new file appears. [Done, works fine]
There is a pipeline connected with this trigger, which is appends the fresh csv to the specific SQL table. [Done, but not good]
I have a problem with step 3. I don't want to append all the csv-s within the container(how is's working now), I just want to append the csv which is just arrived - the newest in the container.
Okay, the solution is:
there is a builtin attribute in pipeline called #triggerBody().fileName
Since I have the file which fired the trigger, I can pass it to the Pipeline.
I think you can use event trigger and check Blob created option.
Here is an official documentation about it. You can refer to this.
Azure Function Storage Account Blob Container Trigger
In one of our use case, i am looking for Azure function trigger for any activity in Storage account containers with following conditions
Container with a specific naming convention (name like xxxx-input)
It should automatically detect if a new container(with specific naming convention) is created
Currently, the following events are supported at the moment, per the documentation:
BlobCreated
BlobDeleted
BlobRenamed
DirectoryCreated(Data lake Gen2)
DirectoryRenamed(Data lake Gen2)
DirectoryDeleted(Data lake Gen2)
This means that it is not possible to create such event, but you can try to change the approach(if feasible for your use-case) from 'push' to 'pull'.
I suggest to write a time-triggered function that checks whether container with the given schemes were created. You can leverage the Blob Storage v12 SDK for this task, and get list of the containers.
Save the list to some database(for example CosmosDB), and every time the function gets triggered, you can compare the current state, with the last saved state from the db.
If there is a difference, you can push the message to the EventHub, that triggers another function that actually reacts on this 'new event-type'.
you should use the Azure Event Grid subscribing to the Resource group of your storage account and use for example, the advanced filtering for
"operationName":"Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers/write",
"subject":"/subscriptions/<yourId>/resourcegroups/<yourRG>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<youraccount>/blobServices/default/containers/xxxx-input",
"eventType":"Microsoft.Resources.ResourceWriteSuccess",
