Azure Event Hubs Setup Guide

Follow our setup guide to connect Azure Event Hubs to Fivetran.

Prerequisites

To connect Azure Event Hubs to Fivetran, you need an Azure account with an Event Hubs namespace and Event Hubs.

Open the Azure Event Hubs service.
Open the Event Hubs namespace for which you want to create a connector.
Go to Settings-> Shared Access Policy.
Select a shared access key with the Manage scope. We need the Manage scope to fetch all the Event Hubs from your namespace.
NOTE: If a shared access key is not present, create one.
Get the Connection string–primary key.

You need to add a dedicated Fivetran consumer group to each Event Hub in your namespace.

For each Event Hub, do the following:

In the Event Hubs, go to the relevant event hub instance.
Go to Entities and click Consumer Groups.
Click Add consumer group.
Specify a name for the group and make a note of the name. You will need it to configure Fivetran.

In the connector setup form, enter the Destination schema name of your choice.
Enter the Connection String you found in Step 1.
Enter the Consumer Group name you added in Step 2. The consumer group should be unique to a connector to keep data integrity.
Select your Message Type: Json or Text.
- If you choose Json, select a sync type: Packed or Unpacked.
(Hybrid Deployment only) If your destination is configured for Hybrid Deployment, the Hybrid Deployment Agent associated with your destination is pre-selected in the Select an existing agent drop-down menu. To use a different agent, select the agent of your choice, and then select the same agent for your destination.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your Azure Event Hubs data.
