Hands-On Azure Digital Twins

By: Alexander Meijers

Overview of this book

In today’s world, clients are using more and more IoT sensors to monitor their business processes and assets. Think about collecting information such as pressure in an engine, the temperature, or a light switch being turned on or off in a room. The data collected can be used to create smart solutions for predicting future trends, creating simulations, and drawing insights using visualizations. This makes it beneficial for organizations to make digital twins, which are digital replicas of the real environment, to support these smart solutions. This book will help you understand the concept of digital twins and how it can be implemented using an Azure service called Azure Digital Twins. Starting with the requirements and installation of the Azure Digital Twins service, the book will explain the definition language used for modeling digital twins. From there, you'll go through each step of building digital twins using Azure Digital Twins and learn about the different SDKs and APIs and how to use them with several Azure services. Finally, you'll learn how digital twins can be used in practice with the help of several real-world scenarios. By the end of this book, you'll be confident in building and designing digital twins and integrating them with various Azure services.

Monitoring event route messages

As we stated earlier, we will be using the subscription we've created to monitor the event messages in the Azure Service Bus Queue. Execute the following steps to open the Service Bus Queue, as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. Open the dtbservicebus Azure service.
  2. Select the Queues option from the left menu.
  3. Click on the queue named monitoringeventgridmessages:

Figure 12.15 – Opening the Service Bus Queue

This will open the monitoringeventgridmessages Service Bus Queue. Execute the following steps, as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. Select the Service Bus Explorer (preview) option from the left menu. At the time of writing, this function is still in preview.
  2. Select the Peek tab. The number of messages will appear in the view. It can take some time to get messages in there if the subscription has just been created.
  3. Press the Peek button.
  4. Select one of the messages from the...
