Event Driven (Instant)

For real-time ingestion, you can connect your Azure Blob Storage container to Chipper using Azure Event Grid. This allows Chipper to receive an event every time a new log file is created in your container.

Prerequisites​

Before configuring this method, make sure you've completed:

The following steps are all through Chipper.

Step 1: Ensure your subscription has event access​

  1. Go to your subscriptions page
  2. Navigate to Resource Providers under the Settings header
  3. Search for Microsoft.EventGrid and hit enable
# Replace these with your values
SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<your-subscription-id>"
# Log in if you haven’t
az login

# Pick the subscription if you have multiple
az account set --subscription "$SUBSCRIPTION_ID$"

# Register the Event Grid resource provider
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.EventGrid

# Check registration status
az provider show --namespace Microsoft.EventGrid --query "registrationState"

Step 2: Create an Event Grid Subscription (Push)​

Now configure Event Grid to notify Chipper’s webhook when new blobs are added.

  1. Go to your Storage Account in the Azure Portal.
  2. In the left menu, select Events → + Event Subscription.
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: chipper-logs
    • Event Schema: Event Grid Schema (default)
  4. Topic Details:
    • Enter whatever name for the system topic name, like chipperlogs
  5. Event Types:
    • Select only ✅ BlobCreated
  6. Filters (Optional):
    • Subject Begins With:
      /blobServices/default/containers/<container_name>/<prefix>/ (replace logs with your container name)
    • This ensures only events from your log container are sent.
  7. Endpoint Details:
    • Endpoint Type: Web hook
    • Subscriber Endpoint: Paste the Chipper webhook URL (show in the application)
      • Example:
        https://<api-id>.execute-api.<region>.amazonaws.com
  8. Ensure that the expiry date is set to what you want - Azure will default this to 1 day
  9. Click Create.

Azure will send a validation event that Chipper automatically acknowledges.
