Only one authentication method is required, storage_connection_string or storage_account and storage_access_key. If both are set then the storage_connection_string is given priority.

In order to set the queue_name you can use function interpolations described here, which are calculated per message of a batch.

Performance

This output benefits from sending multiple messages in flight in parallel for improved performance. You can tune the max number of in flight messages (or message batches) with the field max_in_flight.

This output benefits from sending messages as a batch for improved performance. Batches can be formed at both the input and output level. You can find out more in this doc.

Fields

batching

Allows you to configure a batching policy.

Type: object

# Examples:
batching:
  byte_size: 5000
  count: 0
  period: 1s
batching:
  count: 10
  period: 1s
batching:
  check: this.contains("END BATCH")
  count: 0
  period: 1m

batching.byte_size

An amount of bytes at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables size based batching.

Type: int

Default: 0

batching.check

A Bloblang query that should return a boolean value indicating whether a message should end a batch.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples:
check: this.type == "end_of_transaction"

batching.count

A number of messages at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables count based batching.

Type: int

Default: 0

batching.period

A period in which an incomplete batch should be flushed regardless of its size.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples:
period: 1s
period: 1m
period: 500ms

batching.processors[]

A list of processors to apply to a batch as it is flushed. This allows you to aggregate and archive the batch however you see fit. Please note that all resulting messages are flushed as a single batch, therefore splitting the batch into smaller batches using these processors is a no-op.

Type: processor

# Examples:
processors:
  - archive:
      format: concatenate

  - archive:
      format: lines

  - archive:
      format: json_array

max_in_flight

The maximum number of parallel message batches to have in flight at any given time.

Type: int

Default: 64

queue_name

The name of the target Queue Storage queue. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

storage_access_key

The storage account access key. This field is ignored if storage_connection_string is set.

Type: string

Default: ""

storage_account

The storage account to access. This field is ignored if storage_connection_string is set.

Type: string

Default: ""

storage_connection_string

A storage account connection string. This field is required if storage_account and storage_access_key / storage_sas_token are not set.

Type: string

Default: ""

storage_sas_token

The storage account SAS token. This field is ignored if storage_connection_string or storage_access_key are set.

Type: string

Default: ""

ttl

The TTL of each individual message as a duration string. Defaults to 0, meaning no retention period is set This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples:
ttl: 60s
ttl: 5m
ttl: 36h
