Is there a way to check active connections and the auth type on Standard tier Event hubs?

Question

Looks like runtime audit logs are available only in premium and dedicated tiers. Is there a way to check the event hub active connections and the auth type on Standard tier?

Answer 1

Azure Event Hubs Standard tier does not provide built-in features to directly check active connections or authentication types in real-time. If you need these features you might want to consider upgrading.

However, you can skeletally try to get an idea from Azure monitor by the Incoming Messages or throttled requests metrics

Unfortunately, Azure Event Hubs Standard tier doesn’t provide a direct way to check the authentication type for active connections in real-time. This feature is available in the Premium and Dedicated tiers, which offer more advanced monitoring and logging capabilities.

However, you can use Azure Monitor to track metrics like Incoming Messages and Throttled Requests to get an idea of activity levels. For authentication types, you can refer to the authentication methods supported by Azure Event Hubs, such as Shared Access Signature (SAS) and Azure Active Directory (AAD) OAuth.

If upgrading isn’t an option, you might consider implementing custom logging within your application to track authentication types and connection details.
