Create and manage a streaming virtual network data gateway (preview)

A Streaming virtual network data gateway provides an abstraction of the Azure virtual network and its subnet resources within Fabric. It allows Eventstream’s streaming connector service to use the Azure virtual network and subnet resource, injecting the connector into this Azure virtual network. As a result, Eventstream’s streaming connector can access streaming sources within a private network to collect real-time data for Fabric.

Create a streaming virtual network data gateway

Before you create a streaming virtual network data gateway, you must complete the following prerequisites:

• Register the Microsoft.MessagingConnectors resource provider in your Azure subscription. For detailed steps, see Register the connector resource provider.
• Create an Azure virtual network with a subnet and delegate a subnet to Microsoft.MessagingConnectors. For detailed steps, see Set up an Azure virtual network.

After completing these prerequisites, you can create a streaming virtual network data gateway.

When adding sources to your eventstream in Fabric, select a source, that is, Azure Service Bus and the Get events wizard is opened. Select Set up to open the Manage connections and gateways page and you can create your Streaming virtual network gateways.

1. Navigate to Streaming virtual network data gateways, then select New.
2. Select the Azure subscription where you created the virtual network in the previous steps, along with the Resource group, Virtual network, and Subnet.
3. Specify a name and select Save to complete the creation.

After a Streaming virtual network data gateway is created, it's available in Fabric: Manage Connections and Gateways > Streaming virtual network data gateways tab where you can manage it. In this page, it lists all the streaming virtual network data gateways that you have the permission to access. In each item row, it shows the corresponding Azure virtual network resource details.

Manage admin and users

You can manage admins for a streaming virtual network data gateway in Fabric under Manage Connections and Gateways, similar to how you manage other data gateway. To add or remove admins, select a streaming virtual network data gateway, and then select Manage users.

You can also share the streaming virtual network data gateway with other users in your organization, so they can see and use it without creating a new one. When sharing, you can assign one of the following roles: Connection Creator, Connection Creator with resharing, or Admin.

Update name and description

You can update the name and description of a streaming virtual network data gateway. Select the gateway, and then select Settings. In the Settings pane, you can edit the Name and Description, and then select Save to apply the changes.

Delete streaming virtual network gateway

You can delete a streaming virtual network data gateway. Select the More actions menu for the gateway, and then select Remove.
