Announcing the Public Preview: Ingest events from Azure Event Hubs into Azure Monitor Logs

Customers can now ingest data directly from an event hub into a Log Analytics workspace.

Azure Event Hubs is a big data streaming platform that collects events from multiple sources to be ingested by Azure and external services.  

The new ability to ingest data can be powerful for customers who already use message queueing mechanisms and are interested in ingesting data into a Log Analytics or Sentinel workspace, or ingesting into multiple destinations.

Customers who use Kafka can connect their applications to a Kafka endpoint on an event hub without any code changes.

The main benefits of this feature are:

• Highly scalable and reliable ingestion - start ingest megabytes of data and grow to gigabytes or terabytes.
• Fully managed service that doesn’t require use and maintenance of other components like functions, Logic Apps, and plugins to ingest data from Event Hubs into a Log Analytics workspace.
• Requires minimum configuration with flexibility to add more advanced configurations using transformations.
