EventHub Explorer

EventHub Explorer is a developer tool that allows you to interact with Azure Event Hubs and Azure Storage Queues using a graphical user interface. It supports both real Azure services, the eventhubs-emulator for Event Hubs and Azurite for StorageQueue.

Features

Sending Messages to Event Hubs

• Override GUID, DateTime values in a message before sending
• Ability to compress and encode a message before sending
• Send a single message
• Send a batch of messages
• Send a batch of messages with a time delay between each message

Receiving Messages from Event Hubs

• Format a message to JSON if it is a JSON string
• Ability to decompress and decode a message after receiving
• Receive messages without checkpoints (always fetch the newest messages, if is not yet received another consumer)
• Receive messages with checkpoints (using external storage to track received message IDs)

Note: The application uses the $Default consumer group by default.

• Send a single message
