azure-cli: az eventgrid event-subscription create fails...

Yes! I can confirm that it works! But, you have to use the --endpoint-type azurefunction as opposed to FunctionApp as stated above. There doesn’t seem to be documentation yet on this that I can find but the commandline help on the command has the info about using ‘azurefunction’. Also, once you have this, he --endpoint needs to be adjusted to point at the resource id of the function which I was able to determine with http://resources.azure.com portal. Once that is done, it works great!

I corrected my comment: the endpoint type is azurefunction, not functionapp. I also added a link to the documentation.

@dwhanger Can you please confirm that this is working for you as well? Thanks.

Clarifying above

az eventgrid event-subscription create --name es1 –source-resource-id /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/{RG}/providers/Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/topic1 –endpoint /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/{RG}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{fun ctionappname}/functions/{functionname}

As of v0.4.8 this command works IF you add --endpoint-type azurefunction.

@rcreddy435 - Do you mind sharing how you got the key programmatically? I’ve tried several examples online but the subscription fails. If I hardcode the key it works.

@AlphaCreative-Mike : Did you check this url? https://markheath.net/post/managing-azure-functions-keys-2

btw, @banisadr, the Powershell command does work…it is just cumbersome given that I have to go to the portal after the deploy, find the function app, and copy paste the eventgrid_extension key into a powershell script that I run manually after the fact. Less than ideal for an infrastructure as code automated approach…this needs attention!!!

Hi @banisadr, thanks for your response! I tried the az eventgrid event-subscription form of the command like you have above but I get this back: ‘Invalid event subscription request: Supplied URL is invalid. It cannot be null or empty and should be a proper HTTPS URL like https://www.example.com.’ I have the eventgrid extension installed at version 0.4.4…that was already the case. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks.

I am having the similar issue. The endpoint does support subscription validation handshake as it is a function with EventGridTrigger binding. Even after passing function name and key, az cli command is throwing the error. “The attempt to validate the provided endpoint https://{functionappname}.azurewebsites.net/runtime/webhooks/eventgrid failed. …”

But same is working with Azure powershell command New-AzEventGridSubscription without complaining about validation.

Thanks, Rama.

hello…given this:

az eventgrid event-subscription create --source-resource-id /subscriptions/{XXXXXX}/resourceGroups/{RgName}/providers/Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/{TopicName} -n {EventSubscriptionName} --endpoint-type webhook --endpoint https://{FuncAppName}.azurewebsites.net/runtime/webhooks/EventGrid?functionName={EventGridTriggerFunctName}&code={Key}

…how do I get the {Key} programmatically so I can pass it in when I register the function without having to go to the portal UI interface? Surely I can’t be the first person wanting to do this…

Thanks.

so, this can probably work as suggested if I have a way of programmatically getting the code so that I can send that in when I register the function to handle the eventgrid events…any suggestions on how to do that?
