Ways to monitor connection to Azure IoT Hub/other IoT services

[mikegpl]

Hi,

I'm wondering, are there any guidelines for monitoring the connection to the following services:

• IoT Hub,
• DPS,
• Blob Storage,
• IoT Central API?

In my solution I use a HTTP Proxy which has only a few hostnames (used in communication with Azure) allowed, however, sometimes I get random/transient errors when communicating with Azure. To make sure they are not related with the Proxy setup I would like to set up a some sort of health check which would tell me if it's the one failing is the proxy or the Azure. For security reasons, I don't want to use any of my existing Azure subscriptions for this task - maybe there are some public endpoints that I could check periodically?

Best regards,
Michał

Hi there, Michal,

I'm not aware of any such public endpoint that you could ping to check the health of your particular Azure resource. My understanding is that you would need to make a simple request to the service in question in order to get that health check.

You may consider opening a discussion on this user voice page in order to get some traction with a service side engineer. This discussion board is mainly for discussing the SDK itself, and not the service.

Thanks,
-Tim
