Azure SignalR as an Azure Event Grid source

  • Article

This article provides the properties and schema for SignalR Service events. For an introduction to event schemas, see Azure Event Grid event schema. It also gives you a list of quick starts and tutorials to use Azure SignalR as an event source.

Available event types

SignalR Service emits the following event types:

Event type Description
Microsoft.SignalRService.ClientConnectionConnected Raised when a client connection connected.
Microsoft.SignalRService.ClientConnectionDisconnected Raised when a client connection disconnected.

Example event

The following example shows the schema of a client connection connected event:

[{
  "source": "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/signalr-rg/providers/Microsoft.SignalRService/SignalR/signalr-resource",
  "subject": "/hub/chat",
  "type": "Microsoft.SignalRService.ClientConnectionConnected",
  "time": "2019-06-10T18:41:00.9584103Z",
  "id": "831e1650-001e-001b-66ab-eeb76e069631",
  "data": {
    "timestamp": "2019-06-10T18:41:00.9584103Z",
    "hubName": "chat",
    "connectionId": "crH0uxVSvP61p5wkFY1x1A",
    "userId": "user-eymwyo23"
  },
  "specversion": "1.0"
}]

The schema for a client connection disconnected event is similar:

[{
  "source": "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/signalr-rg/providers/Microsoft.SignalRService/SignalR/signalr-resource",
  "subject": "/hub/chat",
  "type": "Microsoft.SignalRService.ClientConnectionDisconnected",
  "time": "2019-06-10T18:41:00.9584103Z",
  "id": "831e1650-001e-001b-66ab-eeb76e069631",
  "data": {
    "timestamp": "2019-06-10T18:41:00.9584103Z",
    "hubName": "chat",
    "connectionId": "crH0uxVSvP61p5wkFY1x1A",
    "userId": "user-eymwyo23",
    "errorMessage": "Internal server error."
  },
  "specversion": "1.0"
}]
