# Azure Event Hubs

You can use the Azure Event Hubs connector from the CData Sync application to move data
from any supported source to the Azure Event Hubs destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Azure Event Hubs Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Azure Event Hubs, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Destinations** tab and locate
  the **Azure Event Hubs** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Azure Event Hubs connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Azure Event Hubs

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **Connection Name:** Enter a connection name of your choice.
* **Endpoint:** Enter the endpoint of your Azure Event Hubs instance.
* **Shared Access Key:** Enter the shared access key that you use to authenticate to your Azure Event Hubs account.
* **Shared Access Key Name:** Enter the name of your shared access key (for example, **RootManageSharedAccessKey**).

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:
   * (Optional) **Entity Path:** Enter the entity path to which you want to direct your messages. If you do not specify a path, Sync uses the table's name as the entity path.

   * **Produce Meta:** Specify whether you want to send a meta message while the outgoing message is produced. The default specification is **False**.

     **Note:** Select **True** for this setting only when you **Serialization Format** is set to **CVS**.

   * **Serialization Format:** Select the format in which you want to serialize or deserialize the incoming or outgoing message. The default format is **CSV**.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
