Azure Event Hubs

This health check verifies the ability to communicate with Azure Event Hubs. It uses the provided EventHubProducerClient to get event hub properties.

Installation

• .NET CLI
• Package Reference
• Nuget

dotnet add package AspNetCore.Pulse.Azure.Messaging.EventHubs --version 8.0.4

Defaults

By default, the EventHubProducerClient instance is resolved from service provider.

void Configure(IHealthChecksBuilder builder)
{
    builder.Services.AddSingleton(sp => new EventHubProducerClient("fullyQualifiedNamespace", "eventHubName", new DefaultAzureCredential()));
    builder.AddHealthChecks().AddAzureEventHub();
}

Customization

You can additionally add the following parameters:

• clientFactory: A factory method to provide EventHubProducerClient instance. This can be very useful when you need more than one EventHubProducerClient instance in your app (please see the example below that uses keyed DI introduced in .NET 8).
• failureStatus: The HealthStatus that should be reported when the health check fails. Default is HealthStatus.Unhealthy.
• tags: A list of tags that can be used to filter sets of health checks.
• timeout: A System.TimeSpan representing the timeout of the check.

void Configure(IHealthChecksBuilder builder)
{
    builder.Services
        .AddKeyedSingleton(serviceKey: "eventHubName1", (serviceProvider, serviceKey) => new EventHubProducerClient("fullyQualifiedNamespace", "eventHubName1", new DefaultAzureCredential()))
        .AddKeyedSingleton(serviceKey: "eventHubName2", (serviceProvider, serviceKey) => new EventHubProducerClient("fullyQualifiedNamespace", "eventHubName2", new DefaultAzureCredential()))
        .AddHealthChecks()
            .AddAzureKeyVaultSecrets(clientFactory: serviceProvider => serviceProvider.GetRequiredKeyedService<EventHubProducerClient>("eventHubName1"), name: "event_hub_1")
            .AddAzureKeyVaultSecrets(clientFactory: serviceProvider => serviceProvider.GetRequiredKeyedService<EventHubProducerClient>("eventHubName2"), name: "event_hub_2");

}

Breaking changes

In the prior releases, AzureEventHubHealthCheck was a part of Pulse.AzureServiceBus package. It had a dependency on not just Azure.Messaging.EventHubs, but also Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus. The packages have been split to avoid bringing unnecessary dependencies. Moreover, AzureEventHubHealthCheck was letting the users specify how EventHubProducerClient should be created (from raw connection string or from fully qualified namespace and managed identity credentials), at a cost of maintaining an internal, static client instances cache. Now the type does not create client instances nor maintain an internal cache and it’s the caller responsibility to provide the instance of EventHubProducerClient (please see #2040 for more details). Since Azure SDK recommends treating clients as singletons and client instances can be expensive to create, it’s recommended to register a singleton factory method for Azure SDK clients. So the clients are created only when needed and once per whole application lifetime.
