While configuring streams, you need to set up a specific endpoint to stream your Azion data.

Continue reading for a step by step on how to connect an Azure Blob Storage endpoint to receive data from Data Stream.

Azure Blob Storage requirements

To get started with Microsoft’s Azure Blob Storage, you must follow a few steps:

Create a Microsoft Data Storage account.
Create a container for your Blob Storage.
Create a SAS Token to your Blob Storage with the permission to create, read, write, and list.

For more information on how to create an Azure Storage Account, you can see the Azure Storage documentation page.

Configuring the endpoint in Data Stream

Next, follow these steps to configure the new endpoint you created in Azure Blob Storage in your Azion Data Stream.

You can find detailed steps for the entire configuration on the How to use Data Stream guide.

All key fields will be masked and an icon that allows revealing the field content will be only displayed to users with the Edit Data Stream permission. Users without the Edit Data Stream permission can only view the settings of the existing stream but not edit or create new ones.

In the Destination configurations:

On the Connector dropdown menu, select Azure Blob Storage.
On Storage Account, add the name of your storage account of your Azure Blob Storage. Example: mystorageaccount
On Container Name, add the name of your Azure Blob Storage container. Example: log_container
On Blob SAS Token, add the Blob SAS token of your Azure Blob Storage. Example: fd56e23e1f12efe
Make sure the Active switch is on.
Click the Save button.

In the Destination configurations:

On the Endpoint Type dropdown menu, select Azure Blob Storage.
On Storage Account, add the name of your storage account of your Azure Blob Storage. Example: mystorageaccount
On Container Name, add the name of your Azure Blob Storage container. Example: log_container
On Blob SAS Token, add the Blob SAS token of your Azure Blob Storage. Example: fd56e23e1f12efe
Make sure the Active switch is on.
Click the Save button.

After saving the configurations, your data will be streamed to the newly configured endpoint.

You can keep track of the calls made by Data Stream to Azure Blob on Real-Time Events. To do so, select Data Source > Data Stream and choose the filters options as you wish.
