Is there any way to automate Azure event hub metrics screenshot and posting to MS Teams channel which can run scheduled intervals of time

Question

the below process is to be automated:

1. connect to Azure and Gather the metrics screenshot from Azure resource ( Azure event hub - incoming vs outgoing messages ), Also select the range as last 6 hours.
2. Take the screenshot and post it in MS Teams specific group channel with proper header text.

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

1. Use the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet to authenticate with your Azure account.
2. Use the Get-AzMetric cmdlet to retrieve the incoming and outgoing messages metrics for the Azure Event Hub. Specify the time range as the last 6 hours using the -StartTime and -EndTime parameters
3. Use a PowerShell module like ScreenCapture or Win32API to capture a screenshot of the Azure portal showing the Event Hub metrics.
4. Use the Microsoft Teams REST API to post the screenshot to a specific channel.

Here's a sample PowerShell script:

# Connect to Azure
Connect-AzAccount

# Gather 
$eventHubName = "your-event-hub-name"
$resourceGroupName = "your-resource-group-name"
$startTime = (Get-Date).AddHours(-6)
$endTime = Get-Date

$metrics = Get-AzMetric -ResourceId "/subscriptions/[your-subscription-id]/resourceGroups/$resourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.EventHub/namespaces/[your-event-hub-namespace]/eventhubs/$eventHubName" `
                        -MetricName "IncomingMessages", "OutgoingMessages" `
                        -TimeGrain ([TimeSpan]::FromMinutes(5)) `
                        -StartTime $startTime `
                        -EndTime $endTime

# Screenshot
$screenshotPath = "C:\temp\event-hub-metrics.png"
Invoke-ScreenCapture -Path $screenshotPath

# Post to Microsoft Teams
$teamsWebhookUrl = "https://outlook.office.com/webhook/[your-teams-webhook-url]"
$headerText = "Azure Event Hub Metrics"
Invoke-TeamsWebhookMessage -WebhookUrl $teamsWebhookUrl -Message $headerText -ImagePath $screenshotPath
