Understanding the Flow
This diagram provides a visual representation of how logs are streamed and processed using Azure Event Hubs. It outlines the key components involved, from the source of log generation to downstream processing and analysis.
The typical flow involves:
- Log Sources: Applications, servers, or services generating log data.
- Ingestion: Logs are collected and sent to Azure Event Hubs for reliable, high-throughput data streaming.
- Event Hubs: Acts as a highly scalable data streaming platform, buffering incoming log events.
- Consumers: Various services or applications that read data from Event Hubs, such as Azure Functions, Stream Analytics, or custom applications.
- Downstream Processing: Processed logs can be stored in databases, analyzed in real-time, visualized in dashboards, or used for alerting.
This architecture is crucial for real-time monitoring, auditing, and operational intelligence in modern cloud environments.
