Azure Event Hubs source properties

You can configure an event source in an Azure Event Hubs connection.
After you define an event source for an Azure Event Hubs connection, you can publish the connection on the Cloud Server. You can then access the event source in a process and deploy the process on the Cloud Server to consume the events generated by the event source.
To create event sources for an Azure Event Hubs connection, click Add Event Source on the Event Sources tab. Select the event source type as AzureEventHubReader. You can add one or more event sources for each Azure Event Hubs connection that you create.
The following table describes the basic event source properties that you can configure:
Property
Description
Name
Required. The event source name that appears in the Process Designer. The name must be unique for the connection.
The name must start with an alphabet and can contain only alphabets, numbers, or hyphens (-).
Description
Optional. A description for the Azure Event Hubs event source that appears in the Process Designer.
Enabled
Select Yes to make the event source available immediately after it is published.
Select No to disable the event source until you are ready to use it.
Default is Yes.
The following table describes the advanced event source properties that you can configure:
Property
Description
Event Hub Name
Required. The name of the Azure event hub from which you want to read messages.
Consumer Group Name
Required. The name of the consumer group. A consumer group is a logical grouping of consumers that read data from an event hub.
Content Format
Required. You can select Text, XML, or JSON.
The default content format is text.
Simplify Content
Required. Enable this option if the XML or JSON content to be processed does not match a valid process object structure. The event source modifies the content structure to match the process object format.
Validate Schema
Required. Enable this option to validate the incoming JSON message against the schema before reading from the source.
The schema validation is performed by reading the messages at the event source. After the validation becomes successful, the process is invoked. The process is not invoked if the validation fails. All the errors that occur during validation are maintained in log files that you can download from the Connections tab in Application Integration Console.
Schema Name
Optional. The schema name for the source.
Schema Version
Optional. The version of the schema.
