Retrieve the connection string for your new event hub

To communicate with an event hub in a namespace, you need a connection string for the event hub.

The connection string for an event hub looks like:

Endpoint=sb://<NamespaceName>.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=<KeyName>;SharedAccessKey=<KeyValue>;EntityPath=<EventHubName>

Where:

• <NamespaceName> is the name of the Event Hubs namespace you created, followed by servicebus.windows.net, to create a fully qualified domain name.
• <KeyName> is the name of the shared access key.
• <KeyValue> is the value of the shared access key.
• <EventHubName> is the name of the event hub you created.

To retrieve the connection string for an event hub:

1. In Azure Portal, click All services in the side navigation pane.
2. Scroll down to Analytics and click Event Hubs.
   
3. Click the event hub you created earlier.
   
4. Click Shared access policies in the side menu pane.
   
5. Click +Add.

11. Click in Connection string–primary key.
    
12. Paste the connection string to a text editor and save it as a .txt file.
