# Send Auth0 events to Azure Monitor Application Insights
This article shows how to send Auth0 events received by Azure Event Grid to Azure Monitor Application Insights.
## Prerequisites
[Create an Azure Event Grid stream on Auth0](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/azure-log-streaming).
## Create an Azure function
1. Create an Azure function by following instructions from the **Create a local project** section of [Quickstart: Create a JavaScript function in Azure using Visual Studio Code](../azure-functions/how-to-create-function-vs-code.md?pivot=programming-language-javascript).
1. Select **Azure Event Grid trigger** for the function template instead of **HTTP trigger** as mentioned in the quickstart.
1. Continue to follow the steps, but use the following **index.js**.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Update the **package.json** to include `applicationinsights` as a dependency.
**index.js**
```javascript
const appInsights = require("applicationinsights");
appInsights.setup();
const appInsightsClient = appInsights.defaultClient;
// Event Grid always sends an array of data and may send more
// than one event in the array. The runtime invokes this function
// once for each array element, so we are always dealing with one.
// See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-event-grid-trigger?tabs=
module.exports = async function (context, eventGridEvent) {
context.log(typeof eventGridEvent);
context.log(eventGridEvent);
// As written, the Application Insights custom event will not be
// correlated to any other context or span. If the custom event
// should be correlated to the parent function invocation, use
// the tagOverrides property. For example:
// var operationIdOverride = {
// "ai.operation.id": context.traceContext.traceparent
// };
// client.trackEvent({
// name: "correlated to function invocation",
// tagOverrides: operationIdOverride,
// properties: {}
// });
context.log(`Sending to App Insights...`);
appInsightsClient.trackEvent({
name: "Event Grid Event",
properties: {
eventGridEvent: eventGridEvent
}
});
context.log(`Sent to App Insights successfully`);
};
```
1. Create an Azure function app using instructions from [Quick function app create](../azure-functions/functions-develop-vs-code.md?tabs=csharp%2Cquick-create#publish-to-azure).
1. Deploy your function to the function app on Azure using instructions from [Deploy project files](../azure-functions/functions-develop-vs-code.md?tabs=csharp#republish-project-files).
## Create event subscription for partner topic using function
1. In the Azure portal, navigate to the Event Grid **partner topic** created by your **Auth0 log stream**.
:::image type="content" source="./media/auth0-log-stream-blob-storage/add-event-subscription-menu.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing the Event Grid Partner Topics page with Add Event Subscription button selected.":::
1. On the **Create Event Subscription** page, follow these steps:
1. Enter a **name** for the event subscription.
1. For **Endpoint type**, select **Azure Function**.
:::image type="content" source="./media/auth0-log-stream-blob-storage/select-endpoint-type.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing the Create Event Subscription page with Azure Functions selected as the endpoint type.":::
1. Click **Select an endpoint** to specify details about the function.
1. On the **Select Azure Function** page, follow these steps.
1. Select the **Azure subscription** that contains the function.
1. Select the **resource group** that contains the function.
1. Select your **function app**.
1. Select your **Azure function**.
1. Then, select **Confirm Selection**.
1. Now, back on the **Create Event Subscription** page, select **Create** to create the event subscription.
1. After the event subscription is created successfully, you see the event subscription in the bottom pane of the **Event Grid Partner Topic - Overview** page.
1. Select the link to your Azure function at the bottom of the page.
1. On the **Azure Function** page, select **Application Insights** under **Settings** on the left menu.
1. Select **Application Insights** link and then select **View Application Insights data**.
1. Once your Auth0 logs are generated, your data should now be visible in Application Insights
> [!NOTE]
> You can use steps in the article to handle events from other event sources too. For a generic example of sending Event Grid events to Azure Blob Storage or Azure Monitor Application Insights, see [this example on GitHub](https://github.com/awkwardindustries/azure-monitor-handler).
