This parameter applies to omazureeventhubs: Microsoft Azure Event Hubs Output Module.

Name:

  amqp_address

Scope:

  input

Type:

  word

Default:

  input=none

Required?:

  no

Introduced:

## Description

Specifies the “Event Hubs connection string”, a full AMQPS URL used to connect to the target Event Hubs instance. When this parameter is set, the host, key name, and key are parsed from the URL, overriding `azureHost`, `azureKeyName`, and `azureKey`. The port is not parsed from the URL; it always defaults to `5671` and any configured `azurePort` value is ignored.

A sample Event Hubs connection string URL is:

    amqps://<SAS_KEY_NAME>:<SAS_KEY>@<NAMESPACE>.servicebus.windows.net/<EVENT_HUB_INSTANCE>

## Input usage

    action(type="omazureeventhubs" amqpAddress="amqps://user:key@namespace.servicebus.windows.net/hub" ...)
