Azure IoT Hub Operations Monitoring

0 votes

I have an Azure IoT hub that I connect devices to. I want to enable monitoring to monitor devices connecting and disconnecting from the hub.

I've enabled Verbose on Connections in the monitoring categories for my Iot hub:

enter image description here

My devices connect to my Hub and show in Device Explorer:

enter image description here

I then have an Azure Function set to log my data from the Operations Monitoring to an Azure SQL db:

using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

public static void Run(string myEventHubMessage, TraceWriter log)
{
    log.Info(myEventHubMessage);

    try
    {
        var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["iotAzureSQLDb"].ConnectionString;

        log.Info(connectionString);
        var message = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MonitoringMessage>(myEventHubMessage);

        using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
        {
            var sqlStatement = "insert into [dbo].[DeviceStatuses] " +
                                "(DeviceId, ConnectionStatus, ConnectionUpdateTime)" +
                                "values " +
                                "(@DeviceId, @ConnectionStatus, @ConnectionUpdateTime)";
            using (var dataCommand = new SqlCommand(sqlStatement, connection))
            {
                dataCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ConnectionStatus", message.operationName);
                dataCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DeviceId", message.deviceId);
                dataCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ConnectionUpdateTime", message.time);

                connection.Open();
                dataCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
                connection.Close();

                log.Info($"Device {message.deviceId} changed state: {message.operationName}");
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        log.Info(ex.Message);
    }
}

public class MonitoringMessage
{
    public string deviceId { get; set; }
    public string operationName { get; set; }
    public int? durationMs { get; set; }
    public string authType { get; set; }
    public string protocol { get; set; }
    public DateTimeOffset? time { get; set; }
    public string category { get; set; }
    public string level { get; set; }
    public int? statusCode { get; set; }
    public int? statusType { get; set; }
    public string statusDescription { get; set; }
}

If I enable Device Identity Operations in Operations Monitoring, I get create events being logged. So I'm confident the inputs to the function is correct. However, nothing is ever created for Connections???

I can also send messages to my connected devices fine. I'm just seeing no events for connections / disconnections.

I've also tried creating a Stream Analytics and sampling the input for a period where I know I have connections / disconnections and nothing is being found.

If you just would like to get devices connection states, use REST instead.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/iothub/deviceapi#DeviceApi_GetDevices

Also, here's an online tool to monitor devices connection state.

Hi, Can you tell which device you are using? 

I have recently worked with ESP32 device to send the wireless temperature sensor data to Azure stream analytics using this blog which might help you to resolve your issue in this case
