loki.source.azure_event_hubs

loki.source.azure_event_hubs receives Azure Event Hubs messages by making use of an Apache Kafka endpoint on Event Hubs. For more information, see the Azure Event Hubs documentation.

To learn more about streaming Azure logs to an Azure Event Hubs, refer to Microsoft’s tutorial on how to Stream Azure Active Directory logs to an Azure event hub.

Note that an Apache Kafka endpoint is not available within the Basic pricing plan. For more information, see the Event Hubs pricing page.

Multiple loki.source.azure_event_hubs components can be specified by giving them different labels.
