Event Grid Trigger: Validation handshake Failed on Event subscription deployment

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 15:53:55 Z

Symptom: In logic app standard, you might face the issue of being unable to create the event grid subscription with endpoint type=webhook where the URL refers to logic app workflow that has event grid trigger When a resource event occurs, below error on saving event subscription will appear: Deployment has failed with the following error: {"code":"Url validation","message":"Webhook validation handshake failed Http POST request retuned 2XX response with response body . When a validation request is accepted without validation code in the response body, Http GET is expected on the validation url included in the validation event(within 10 minutes). For troubleshooting, visit https://aka.ms/esvalidation. Cause: If you work from outside logic app designer on creating event grid subscription or editing it such as adding a filter or advanced filter to the event subscription, a validation request is sent to the configured event subscription web hook URL but logic app standard workflow with event grid trigger fails to respond back by invoking validation URL, and the event subscription will fail to be deployed. However, if you try the same through logic app designer, logic app workflow with this event grid trigger is able to create the event subscription and complete the validation on saving the workflow with this trigger and using the values inside the trigger parameters for event subscription name and basic subject filters Resolution: Adding below condition in the workflow to check if the received event is subscription validation by checking the existence of validation URL in the incoming event body and invoking this validation URL code: { "type": "If", "expression": { "and": [ { "not": { "equals": [ "@triggerOutputs()?['body']?['data']?['validationCode']",

Announcing new pub-sub capabilities in Azure Event Grid

Tue, 21 May 2024 16:00:56 Z

Azure Event Grid is a highly scalable, fully managed publish-subscribe message distribution service that offers flexible message consumption patterns using the MQTT and HTTP protocols. Our recent efforts have been dedicated to enhancing MQTT compliance, simplifying security for IoT and event-driven solutions, and facilitating seamless integrations. Today, we announce the newest features in these critical areas and their potential impact on your solutions. Event Grid’s MQTT Broker capability The MQTT broker capability leverages standard MQTT features and secure authentication methods to enable your clients to communicate in a compliant, secure, and flexible manner. This capability is vital for IoT solutions where efficient communication is essential for seamless operations and where security is critical to protect sensitive data and maintain device integrity. We are excited to announce the release of the following features, reinforcing our commitment to these goals. Last Will and Testament (LWT): is now generally available (GA), enabling MQTT clients to notify other MQTT clients of their abrupt disconnections through a will message. You can use LWT to ensure predictable and reliable flow of communication among MQTT clients during unexpected disconnections, which is valuable for scenarios where real-time communication, system reliability, and coordinated actions are critical. Now, you’re able to use will delay interval to reduce the noise from fluctuating disconnections. OAuth 2.0 authentication: is now public preview, allowing clients to authenticate and connect with the MQTT broker using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) issued by any third-party OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider, aside from Microsoft Entra Id. MQTT clients can get their token from their identity provider (IDP) and provide the token in the MQTTv5 or MQTTv3.1.1 CONNECT packets to authenticate with the MQTT broker. This authentication method provides a lightweight, secure, and flexible option for

Announcing MQTT Last Will and Testament Public Preview in Azure Event Grid

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 15:27:17 Z

Overview Azure Event Grid is a pub-sub message broker that enables you to integrate your solutions at scale using HTTP pull delivery, HTTP push delivery, and MQTT broker capability. The MQTT broker capability leverages standard features from MQTT protocol to enable your clients to communicate in a reliable, secure, and scalable manner. This capability is vital for IoT solutions where efficient communication is essential for seamless operations, driving the digital transformation of organizations across various industries. Today, I am thrilled to announce the public preview release of the Last Will and Testament (LWT) support in Azure Event Grid's MQTT broker capability, in compliance with the MQTTv3.1.1 and MQTTv5 specifications. LWT enables your MQTT clients to get notified with the abrupt disconnections of other MQTT clients. This powerful feature ensures predictable and reliable flow of communication among MQTT clients during unexpected disconnections, which is valuable for scenarios where real-time communication and coordinated actions are critical. Need for client disconnection notifications IoT devices usually operate in environments characterized by unreliable network connectivity, where connections might be sporadic or prone to disruptions due to signal loss, limited power, or other factors. Consequently, MQTT clients might disconnect from the MQTT broker without clear indication whether the disruption was intentional or unexpected. The absence of notifications about the unexpected client disconnections poses a significant challenge across industries, potentially causing service unavailability, increased downtime, and communication failures. In scenarios where multiple MQTT clients collaborate to execute intricate tasks or distribute workload, real-time communication and reliability are critical. These disconnections disrupt the coordination of tasks within the system, leading to inefficiency and performance degradation. LWT support in Event
