Azure IoT Stream Analytics step by step

IoT hub and stream analytics are two very good feature provided by Azure cloud, and here I am trying to showcase how we can use it for an IoT use case.

Steps in high level
1.  Create IoT Hub in Azure
2.  Create devices

In order to create the “IoT Hub”, first we need to login to the azure portal https://portal.azure.com with a valid id. (Free trials will be expire usually within one month)
Once you login you can see the below screen. You can ignore the blackened line as they are created for different use.

Click on “New” and enter “IoT Hub”
Use “Create” button to move to the next blade.
Select the “Pricing” as per your need but only one IoT hub can be created using “F1 Free”.


On click on “Create” button the deployment of new IoT Hub will be starting and we can see its status in the right top

1   Create device in IoT Hub
Click on the newly created “IoT Hub” from “All resource” page and then navigate to Device explorer

Once succeeded, we can see the new created resource in “All Resource” page.
1.    Create device in IoT Hub

Click on the newly created “IoT Hub” from “All resource” page and then navigate to Device explorer.


I have created 5 devices for the trial, and it looks as below

 

 Create stream analytics job



1   Create input in stream analytics job

You can see the “Input” link under Job topology of the Stream Analytics Job



Create output in stream analytics job.
You can see the “Output” link under Job topology of the Stream Analytics Job


In order to filter and save two different type of critical errors, I have created two output in this Stream analytic job and it looks are below.

1.    Now we need to send simulated data to the IoT hub devices and using a Stream Analytics query we will be able to process it

To send data I have used a sample Java code. In the Java application we need to feed to the IoT hub full name and device’s primary key.
(Download Sample java code)


Here using the java application I am sending below values along with the device-ids.
At the time of configuring the device/gateways we need to set the device-id based on a plan and usually this will be unique to the system.

{"temperature":84,"heartbate":159,"bladeload":1267,"error_code":1,"deviceId":"manudevice4"}

After the data simulator, we can set the Query for stream analytics and I have used the below simple query to filter the records based on the error code to two different data set

-------------------
SELECT
    deviceId as deviceid,heartbate as heartbeat,temperature as temperature,bladeload as bladeload,error_code as error_code,System.Timestamp as ts
INTO
manuoutputerror1devices
FROM
    manuinput where  error_code = 1

SELECT
    deviceId as deviceid,heartbate as heartbeat,temperature as temperature,bladeload as bladeload,error_code as error_code,System.Timestamp as ts
INTO
manuoutputerror2devices
FROM
    manuinput where  error_code = 2
-------------------
Once the query setup is over, we can start the Steam Analytics job and then we need to execute the java program to send the data continuously, and then we will be able to see two output files in two output location based on the query filter we used in the Stream Analytics job.

Instead of data as csv, we will be able to send the data to another layer for further action without any delay.
