Once you have the name of your namespace, instance, Shared Access Policy and the key for that policy, you can setup the integration itself.
The alternative approach is to use a connection string, this can be retrieved in the same way as the Shared Access Policy and this can also be gotten for a device in an IoT Hub (Event Hub-compatible connection string).
The final thing to consider is how often you want the integration to send messages in a batch to your hub, this is set with the `send_interval`, with a default of 5 seconds. The other thing to look at is what the maximum delay you want to use, since this component runs in a asynchronous way there is no guarantee that the sending happens exactly on time, so depending on your semantics you might want messages discarded. The actual check of the time happens with `max_delay` plus `send_interval`, so that even with a long `send_interval` the semantics are the same.
## Configuration
Add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:

### Using the data in Azure
### Advanced configuration
This is what the configuration will look like when using a connection string directly, instead of the four parameters. It also shows how to set the send_interval and max_delay to something other than the default. This means once every minute the integration will connect to your hub and send messages, but the messages have to be less than 65 seconds old at the time of sending for them to be counted (send_interval + max_delay).
```yaml
# Connection string config with non-defaults for send_interval and max_delay
azure_event_hub:
event_hub_connection_string: CONNECTION_STRING
send_interval: 60
max_delay: 5
```
## Using the data in Azure
There are a number of ways to stream the data that comes into the Event Hub into storages in Azure, the easiest way is to use the built-in Capture function and this allows you to capture the data in Azure Blob Storage or Azure Data Lake store, [details here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-capture-overview).
