AZURE Event Hub in VNET or not for filtering?

I am having a hard time understanding the docs about AZURE.

I have an Event Hub and would like to filter for inbound traffic (obviously) from over the Web.

But I cannot work out the following from the stuff I am reading thru:

  • Can I filter the traffic in Event Hub?
  • Or do I need to if wanting to filter associate the Event Hub in a VNET via network endpoint to be able to filter?
  • I am getting the impression that any filtering means we need VNET.

That does not sort of make sense to me as it is public facing.

Please advise. I am trying to glean this from the AZURE docs but find it quite arduous and having done a lot of this with AWS recently on the Portal I am trying to save time.

Solution

  • Yes, you can apply IP-based filtering on the Event Hub. Note: This applies both to the producers as well as the consumer. See here for instructions how to configure it.

    So: No, you do not need VNet integration to apply IP-based filtering. If your consumer, for example, is on Azure, then you might want to use Network Service endpoints to allow them access to the Event Hub (or Private Endpoints). But this can be done in addition to IP-based filters.
