I am developing an application . I am pushing data to event hub .From event hub i need to use stream analytics and push data to DOcumentdb for analytics purpose. Could any one please guide me to push data from stream analytics to documentdb. I could see output to SQL Database,Blob storage,Event Hub,Power BI preview,Table storage, Service Bus Queue, Service Bus Topic only
Edit: this feature is now implemented, and DocumentDB can be used as a sink for Stream Analytics: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/streamanalytics/archive/2015/09/29/stream-analytics-updates-for-the-azure-iot-suite.aspx
Yes this effort has already been started while ago as per the feedback forum and it should be publicly available soon. Please share more feedback about your scenario over there and maybe why Azure Table or SQL output are not satisfying it.
thanks!

I am trying to get data from my Azure IoT hub to a database, which will be then displayed on a website.
I have seen many ways to ingest data such as azure data explorer cluster and stream analytics jobs. However, the issue i have with data explorer is that i cannot get connection details for the database so i cot connect to it using code. As for stream analytics jobs, MySQL databases are not supported, and I have only have experience with MySQL.
Does anyone know a way i can ingest data from my Azure IoT hub to a MySQL database? Thanks in advance.
You will have to write some code to do this.
You can for instance create an Azure Function that uses an IoTHubTrigger or EventHubTrigger so that the Function receives the messages that are available on the IoT Hub. In the Function, you write code to make sure that the data is inserted in the appropriate tables in your database.
Find some documentation regarding this here.
I want to monitor some events coming from my application.
One option is to send data to Azure Event Hub and use stream analytics to do some post-processing and enter the data into cosmos db.
Another option is to store to cosmos db from application and run a periodic azure function to do the processing and store it back.
What is the right way to do it? Is there a better way to do it?
The best architecture way is to have Event Hubs to Cosmos DB. I have done the same implementations using Application -> EventHub -> ChangeFeed Azure Function -> Cosmosdb
You can read about Here.
ChangeFeed is offered by Azure Cosmos DB out of the box for this case. It works as a trigger on Cosmos DB change.
It depends on the kind of processing that you would like to do with the events ingested. If it is event at a time processing, a simple Azure Function with CosmosDB changefeed processor might be enough. If you would like to do stateful processing like windowing or event order based computation, azure Stream Analytics would be better. Stream Analytics also provides native integration to PowerBI dashboards. Same job can send the data both to CosmosDB and PowerBI. If you are going to use Azure Stream Analytics, you will have to use EventHub for event ingestion. Using EventHub for ingestion also has other benefits like being able to archive events to blob storage.
I have a scenario where event hub gets data in every 10 seconds, which pass to the stream analytics and then which is passed to the Azure SQL Server. The technical team raised the concerns that Azure SQL is unable to handler so much of data, if data raises 2,00,00,000. then it stops to work.
Can you please guide me is it actual problem of Azure SQL, if it is then can you please suggest me the solution.
Keep in mind that 4TB is the absolute maximum size of an Azure SQL Premium instance. If you plan to store all events for your use case, then this will fill up very quickly. Consider using CosmosDb or Event Hub Capture if you really need to store the messages indefinitely and use SQL for aggregates after processing with SQL DW or ADLS.
Remeber that to optimise Event Hubs you must have a partitioning strategy to optimise the throughput. See the docs.
I am new to Azure. I have sensors and would like to send data from sensors to the Azure backend, preferably to a database. After collecting those sensor data I would like to display them on a dashboard. I wonder if there is a sample tutorial or source code to implement such a solution. Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance & Best Regards.
The Azure IoT Suite is an accelerator that configures a solution using standard Azure services and each one comes with a dashboard. The source code is available on GitHub: Remote Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
There are multiple ways of achieving this as Azure is not a final product but consists of different "modules" if you will.
If the idea is to create a dashboard that shows the sensor data, you don't necessarily need to store them into a database. You can create live streams and display them. If the storage of data is also of concern, then in parallel you can do that as well.
The redirection logic of the data here would be Stream Analytics, it works with the concepts of an input sink, a query and an output sink. Now in your case you might want to create an Event Hub/ IoT Hub, then use it as an input sink to the Stream Analytics, and use PowerBI as the output sink. This will get the data and display it in PBi. If you also want to store the data, you can add another output sink for different options like , blob storage, document db, azure sql database etc.
Also there is an Azure IoT suite remote monitoring solution, that automates most of those tasks with some extra modules, you can use that to create a solution and use it as a boilerplate.
Below are step-by-step tutorials for;
Event Hubs
Stream analytics
PowerBI
Hope this helps!

I generated a SAS signature using this RedDog tool and successfully sent a message to Event Hub using the Events Hub API refs. I know it was successful because I got a 201 Created response from the endpoint.
This tiny success brought about a question that I have not been able to find an answer to:
I went to the azure portal and could not see the messages I created anywhere. Further reading revealed that I needed to create a storage account; I stumbled on some C# examples (EventProcessorHost) which requires the storage account creds etc.
Question is, are there any APIs I can use to persist the data? I do not want to use the C# tool.
Please correct me if my approach is wrong, but my aim is to be able to post telemetries to EventHub, persist the data and perform some analytics operations on it. The telemetry data should be viewable on Azure.
You don't have direct access to the transient storage used for EventHub messages, but you could write a consumer that reads from the EventHub continuously and persist the messages to Azure Table or to Azure Blob.
The closest thing you will find to a way to automatically persist messages (as with Amazon Kinesis Firehose vs Amazon Kinesis which EventHubs are basically equivalent to), would be to use Azure Streaming Analytics configured to write the output either to Azure Blob or to Azure Table. This example shows how to set up a Streaming Analytics job that passes the data through and stores it in SQL, but you can see the UI where you can choose a choice such as Azure Table. Or you can get an idea of the options from the output API.
Of course you should be aware of the requirements around serialization that led to this question
The Event Hub stores data for maximum of 7 days; that’s too in standard pricing tier. If you want to persist the data for longer in a storage account, you can use the Event Hub Capture feature. You don’t have to write a single line of code to achieve this. You can configure it through Portal or ARM template. This is described in this document - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-capture-overview
The event hub stores it’s transient data in Azure storage. It doesn’t give any more detail in relation to the data storage. This is evident from this documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/configure-customer-managed-key
The storage account you need for EventProcessorHost is only used for checkpointing or maintaining the offset of the last read event in a partition.
