Azure Blob Storage
This output type sends logs to an Azure Blob Storage endpoint.
Note
In the Edge Delta App, when you create an integration or an individual output, similar parameters will display. As a result, this document applies to both outputs and integrations.
Before you begin
Before you can create an output, you must have an account key.

Review Parameters
Review the following parameters that you can configure in the Edge Delta App:
Visual Editor | YAML | Description |
Name | name |
Enter a descriptive name for the output or integration. For outputs, this name will be used to map this destination to a workflow. This parameter is required. Review the following example: name: my-blob |
Integration | integration_name |
This parameter only appears when you create an individual output. This parameter refers to the organization-level integration created in the Integrations page. If you enter this name, then the rest of the fields will be automatically populated. If you need to add multiple instances of the same integration into the config, then you can add a custom name to each instance via the name field. In this situation, the name should be used to refer to the specific instance of the destination in the workflows. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: integration_name: blob_acct |
Not applicable | type |
Enter blob. This parameter is required. Review the following example: type: blob |
Account Name | account_name |
Enter the account name for the Azure account. This parameter is required. Review the following example: account_name: '{{ Env "BLOB_ACCOUNT_NAME" }}' |
Account Key | account_key |
Enter the account key for Azure account. This parameter is required. Review the following example: account_key: '{{ Env "BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY" }} |
Container | container |
Enter the container name to upload. This parameter is required. Review the following example: container: testcontainer |
Not applicable | auto_create_container |
Create the container on the service, with no metadata and no public access. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: auto_create_container: false |
Compression | compress |
Enter a compression type for archiving purposes. You can enter gzip, zstd, snappy, or uncompressed. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: compress: gzip |
Encoding | encoding |
Enter an encoding type for archiving purposes. You can enter json or parquet. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: encoding: parquet |
Use Native Compression | use_native_compression |
Enter true or false to compress parquet-encoded data. This option will not compress metadata. This option can be useful with big data cloud applications, such as AWS Athena and Google BigQuery.
This parameter is optional. Review the following example: use_native_compression: true |
Buffer TTL | buffer_ttl |
Enter a length of time to retry failed streaming data. After this length of time is reached, the failed streaming data will no longer be tried. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: buffer_ttl: 2h |
Buffer Path |
buffer_path |
Enter a folder path to temporarily store failed streaming data. The failed streaming data will be retried until the data reaches its destinations or until the Buffer TTL value is reached. If you enter a path that does not exist, then the agent will create directories, as needed. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: buffer_path: /var/log/edgedelta/pushbuffer/ |
Buffer Max Size |
buffer_max_bytesize |
Enter the maximum size of failed streaming data that you want to retry. If the failed streaming data is larger than this size, then the failed streaming data will not be retried. This parameter is optional. Review the following example: buffer_max_bytesize: 100MB |
Review Sample Configuration
The following sample configuration displays an output without the name of the organization-level integration:
- name: my-blob
type: blob
account_name: {{ Env "BLOB_ACCOUNT_NAME" }}
account_key: {{ Env "BLOB_ACCOUNT_KEY" }}
container: testcontainer
auto_create_container: false
