Azure IoT Tools make it easy to monitor custom Event Hub endpoints
With your Azure IoT application becomes more and more complicated, it is a common scenario that developers leverage IoT Hub message routing to send device-to-cloud messages to different endpoints. Therefore, we want to a convenient way to view and monitor the custom endpoints. With Azure IoT Tools, developers could not only view all the endpoints in VS Code, but also monitor custom Event Hub endpoints with ease. View built-in and custom endpoints In Azure IoT Hub explorer, you could see all the built-in and custom endpoints, include Event Hubs, Service Bus queue, Service Bus topic and Blob storage. Monitor...

Read Azure IoT Hub device-to-cloud messages from the built-in and custom endpoints
IoT Hub Message Routing enables users to route device-to-cloud messages to service-facing endpoints. An IoT hub has a default built-in endpoint. You can create custom endpoints to route messages to by linking other services in your subscription to the hub. IoT Hub currently supports Azure Storage containers, Event Hubs, Service Bus queues, and Service Bus topics as custom endpoints. During development and operation, developers would want to monitor the device-to-cloud messages to see whether the Azure IoT application is working well. In this article, we will go through how to read device-to-cloud messages from th...

Diagnose issues with Distributed Tracing for Azure IoT Hub (preview) in Visual Studio Code
Effective monitoring is instrumental in understanding and troubleshooting your modern cloud solution leveraging multiple services. Distributed tracing helps you diagnose issues in your cloud solution by providing the capability to track the flow of a call and the associated latency across these different services. Today, we announced the public preview of distributed tracing support in Azure IoT Hub. You can leverage the IoT Hub logs with distributed tracing information to monitor the flow of messages through the IoT Hub and troubleshoot problems related to message loss or performance. You can further aggregat...
