FME Flow: 2024.2

Azure Event Grid Topic

The Azure Event Grid Topic external action sends events to Microsoft Azure Event Grid topics.

The Azure Event Grid Topic external action has two output ports. The success port (✔) can send a message if the event was delivered successfully. The failure port (x) can send a message if the delivery fails.

Note  When Retry settings are configured, the failure port renders with a Retry Configured (⟳) icon.

Parameters

  • Event Grid Topic Endpoint: The topic endpoint for the Azure Event Grid topic.
    • Note  To locate the endpoint, navigate to your topic in the Microsoft Azure portal.
  • Event Grid Topic Key: The Event Grid topic access key used to publish events to your Azure Event Grid topic.
    • Note  To locate the access key, navigate to your topic in the Microsoft Azure portal.
  • Subject: The subject to use for filtering and routing events.
  • Event Type: The event type for the specified Subject.
  • Key/Value: The event data, specified in key/value pairs, that is published to the specified Event Grid Topic Endpoint.

error.type

(Failure port only) Error type:

  • InvalidMessage: An error occurred while configuring this component, such as missing or malformed values.
  • DeadLetter: An error occured while connecting to an external resource. Examples may include connection issues, invalid credentials, or generic external resource exceptions.
error.message (Failure port only) Error message

Retry

  • Retry on failure: If checked, the automation attempts to run the action again if the initial attempt results in a failure to connect to the specified external resource for message delivery. The manner in which these retries are conducted is based on the remaining settings.
  • Use custom retry settings: If checked, the remaining retry settings are configurable. If not checked, they are set to the FME Flow default values.
  • Number of attempts: Maximum number of retries, if the action continues to fail.
  • Wait between attempts: Time to wait between retries. In conjunction with Backoff multiplier (below), the specified value is the wait time for the first retry.
  • Backoff multiplier: Factor by which to increase Wait between attempts on successive retries. For example, a value of 2.0 doubles the wait time for the next retry.
  • Randomization factor: Percentage by which to introduce randomness to Wait between attempts. For example, if Wait between attempts is 100 Seconds, and Randomization factor is 25, the wait time for each retry is randomly selected between 75 and 125 seconds.
  • Maximum wait between attempts: Maximum wait time between retries. In conjunction with Backoff multiplier, the specified value is the upper limit for wait time.
