Overview

Azure Event Hubs is a big data streaming platform ideal for centralizing logging and real-time log streaming for applications on Azure or on-premises.

Integrate SigNoz with Azure Event Hubs for a robust log management solution, leveraging SigNoz's log aggregation, querying, visualization, and alerting features.

<!-- ### 4. Configure OpenTelemetry Integration 1. Add a new receiver to [Central Collector Setup](../collector-setup). 2. Configure the receiver with the Event Hubs namespace connection string and the event hub name. ### 5. Stream Logs to Event Hubs 1. Configure Azure services' diagnostic settings to forward logs to the Event Hub. 2. Ensure logs are in [Azure Common Log Format](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/resource-logs-schema). 3. Verify logs are streaming to Event Hubs and received by SigNoz. For detailed instructions, refer to the Azure documentation: [Azure Event Hub](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-create). --> <!-- For more configuration options, see the [OpenTelemetry Documentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/azureeventhubreceiver). -->
