When you create a standard or dedicated tier Event Hubs namespace, the Kafka endpoint for the namespace is enabled by default. You can then use the Azure Event Hubs enabled Kafka connection as a source connection while configuring a streaming ingestion task. Enter the Event Hubs name as the topic name.

The Azure Event Hubs source information that you enter while configuring a streaming ingestion task is same as that of a normal Kafka source configuration. For more information about Azure Event Hubs Kafka source properties, see Azure Event Hubs Kafka source properties.

Configure the following properties while creating a Kafka connection in Administrator:

Kafka Broker List:
NAMESPACENAME.servicebus.windows.net:9093
Additional Connection Properties:
security.protocol=SASL_SSL,sasl.mechanism=PLAIN,sasl.kerberos.service.name=Kafka
SSL Mode: One-Way
SSL TrustStore File Path: Path to a trusted root cert on your file system. For example,
<AGENT_HOME>/jdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts
SSL TrustStore Password: Trustore password.
Additional Security Properties:
sasl.jaas.config= org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="$ConnectionString" password="Endpoint=sb://mynamespace.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=XXXXXX;SharedAccessKey=XXXXXX";
