Publishing events from the Inventory service to Azure Blob Storage

You can publish the events from the Inventory service to Azure Blob Storage by providing the following details in the IBM support case and request to configure the event subscriptions.

Container name
Filename prefix
Endpoint URL
Authentication details

Authenticating Azure Blob Storage

You can authenticate Azure Blob Storage for event publishing with the following methods:

Storage shared key credential

Use the following shared key details for authentication:

Account name
Account key

For more information, see Authorize with Shared Key.

Azure SAS credential

Use the signature string.

Note:

You must ensure that the signature has a long-lived expiry time. You can update the signature using Order Hub before it expires. If you do not have access to configuring event publishing using Order Hub, this option is unavailable.
Currently, the Order Hub supports the IBM Cloud® Object Storage by using API key authentication. As a part of future release, the Order Hub UI will support to configure any other supported storage vendor and authentication type.

For more information, see Create a user delegation SAS.
