Is there a way to implement a health check service for Eventhub - queue in Azure for resource monitoring

Question

Requirement -

From webMethods we are sending event driven messages to Azure Eventhub queues over http. We are looking for an option to have a health check service on the availability of the queue rather than the landing zone to handle transient errors.

What are we trying to achieve -

We are basically trying to implement a transient error handler over resource monitoring in webMethods to avoid unnecessary automated prod alerts for high volume interfaces. Also to have a automated suspend and retry mechanism of feeds rather than doing it manually.

Please do let me know if there is a way to implement this solution.

Answer 1

There are four transient exceptions in Azure Event Hubs messaging which can be generated by using .NET framework API.

• Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging.MessagingException
• Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging.ServerBusyException
• Microsoft.Azure.EventHubs.ServerBusyException
• Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging.MessagingCommunicationException

Additionally from this, there are 3 top approaches to monitor the health status of Azure Event Hubs.

• Metric Based Monitoring
• Azure Event Hub Logging
  • Activity Log
  • Diagnostic Log
• Status Monitoring

Note: Monitoring the Azure resource status does not mean monitoring the physical status of a resource, but it also includes monitoring availability, performance, reliability, and consumption.

To know more about these approaches and to implement them, please refer this third-party tutorial.
