Non-Azure input/source options for Steam Analytics

Does Steam Analytics support input sources other than products in the Azure family?

For example, can I setup a REST endpoint and send events this way? Are there client libraries for node.js?

Documentation is somewhat scant in this regard; I wanted to check here before assuming no on both fronts.

Solution

  • Some circumstantial evidence below seems to prove that Azure not suppport non Azure Service as input for Stream Analytics.

    1. From the REST API Create Input of Stream Analytics https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn835010.aspx, there are only three data sources that include Event Hub, Blob Storgae & IoT Hub.

    2. Screenshots from Azure old & new portal for add input.
