Microsoft Azure Event Hub Namespace

Use this SAM application monitor template to monitor Microsoft Azure Event Hubs performance and statistics counters, including requests, messages, errors, connections and traffic.

Passwords for legacy Microsoft Azure application monitor templates and related application monitors are stored as plain text in the SolarWinds Platform database. SolarWinds recommends switching to Microsoft Azure API poller templates that leverage OAuth 2.0 authorization.”
